Planning a Move

Anyone planning a move should contact a moving company as soon as possible in the relocation process. Most real estate closings take place at the end of a month when moving companies tend to already be booked. Movers are busiest during the summer months when relocations peak. Even if your date is tentative, the fact that you are on a mover's customer list provides you with some consideration over someone who is calling at the last minute.

The following is a handy checklist that will help you organize your move. You can highlight this list, copy, and paste it into your word processor and print it. Once it is in your word processor you can fill in the blanks and change the categories to suit your particular requirements.
