Book The Movers

You can choose to have movers pack everything, or just the breakables, or you can pack yourself. It is a good idea to obtain estimates from several different companies and ask for complete references. They’re also available to unpack once you’re in your new home. If you need a storage unit contact a local one to see if they have any availability during the time of your move.

If You Own Your Present Home

Arrange to have your gas, water and hydro meters read on the day you leave. Contact your internet & tv provider in advance to notify them of the upcoming move. Disconnect your internet & cable. Remember to bring pvr boxes, cables & remotes with you to your next house. Start a “day of” box to have the essentials on hand this will make things much easier.

If You Rent Your Present Home

Give necessary written notice to your landlord and make arrangements for a final walk-through & the return of any money you have on your damage/ pet deposit.

At Your New Home

Make arrangements for the gas and electric utilities, internet and cable to be connected on the day the sale closes.
