Organization is important to make your move easy and smooth. Plan ahead once you know when you are settling on your new home.

 Making the move

•  Contact the local utility companies to hook up electricity, gas, and water to your new home.
•  Notify the post office of your new home address change and request that your mail be forwarded.
•  Notify your credit cards companies,  friends, employer, and child’s school  of your new home  address and phone number.
•  Update your bank accounts and checks with your new address.
•  Update the address on your driver’s license within 30 days of moving.
•  Change the locks on the doors of your new home.
