A Moving Guide Checklist

Moving to the Palos Verdes area?  Below is your Moving Checklist, a guide to making your move easier.
  • Get quotes from 3-4 moving companies and talk to family and friends for recommendations
  • Designate how many packing supplies you will need per room.
  • Don't forget to plan who will drive what cars over to the new place and when
  • Do a moving cleaning and determine what you need and absolutely want to take with you to the new home. Then sell, recycle, or donate anything you don't want.
  • Make an inventory list of everything involved in the move
  • Create a designated folder for all moving-related expenses and receipts
  • Fill out a Change of address form for the IRS, DMV, Post Office, Insurance, Banks, Cell Phone, Credit Cards, and any subscriptions you have
  • If you have children, arrange the transfer of their school records
  • Notify your doctors of the move. Seek referrals if needed.
  • Make travel arrangements for your family and pets and arrange for them to arrive long before the mover's are scheduled to.
  • Make arrangements to disconnect and connect your cable, internet, electric, gas, etc.
  • Arrange for a locksmith to come and change the locks for move in day
  • A month before the move, start packing things you know you won't need before the move.
