- Arrange your moving day well in advance - When booking a truck or hiring a moving company, it's often worth comparing several estimates. Your Royal LePage agent can provide you with some referrals for local and national movers.
- Re- direct your essential services to your new home; arrange to have services such as gas, electricity, and cable TV to be connected on the day the sale closes.
- At your current home, arrange to have your gas, water, and electricity meters read on the day you leave and have the bills forwarded to your new address. If necessary, water heater and furnace rental agreements should to be transferred to the purchaser.
- Update your contact information and provide a forwarding address for schools, work, and services such as banks or insurance companies.
- Also, don't forget to make arrangements for pet or baby sitters for the day of the move.
