Moving Tips

Start Early

Begin planning your move at least 4 weeks in advance. It reduces stress and gives you time to handle surprises.

Create a Moving Timeline

Make a plan and set deadlines leading up to the move. This helps you stay on track and reduces last-minute chaos.

Declutter First

Donate or sell items you no longer need. Fewer boxes, faster, cheaper move.

Take Inventory

Keep a list of everything you’re bringing with you. This helps prevent loss and makes unpacking easier.

Pack One Room at a Time

Focus on packing one room before moving to the next. It makes the process more organized and less overwhelming.

Label Everything

Clearly label each box by room and contents. It’ll save you hours of searching when you unpack.

Keep Important Documents Together

Gather passports, insurance papers, and lease agreements in one folder for quick access during the move.

Pack an Essentials Box

Pack a box with toiletries, a change of clothes, chargers, important documents, and snacks for moving day.

Take Photos of Electronics & Furniture

Photograph how your electronics are connected and how furniture is assembled for easier setup and to help with insurance claims.

Set Up Utilities in Advance

Schedule electricity, internet, and water services before your move, so everything’s ready when you arrive.

Hire Professionals If Possible

Consider hiring movers to save time, energy, and reduce the physical strain of moving.

Do a Final Walkthrough

Before you leave, do one last check of your old home to ensure everything is packed, cleaned, and in order.
