Written by Susie Wilson
Saying goodbye to a home where you’ve lived for years – maybe even decades – is never
easy. However, moving creates a unique opportunity to start fresh and create new memories
in a new home. This move has meant finally owning your dream property. You’ve moved to
the perfect place, and now all you need is to acclimate to the new surroundings.
Handle the Administrative Elements of Moving
Here is a checklist of practical items for your post-move to-do list.
● Determine what utilities you need, such as electric, gas, and water, and set up
contracts with the relevant utility companies in advance.
● Find your local DMV and update your address on your license and registration.
● Change your address with the US postal service, ensuring mail from your old home is
properly forwarded.
Upgrade Your New Property to Make It Truly Your Own
Small tweaks can personalize your property and take your new house from good to great.
● Give any interior rooms with peeling paint a fresh coat to make them look like new.
● Deep clean the entire interior from top to bottom.
