Moving Planning Calendar

If you are in the process of planning a move, we have provided a very helpful moving planning calendar that will help you plan through the entire moving process. We suggest that you start the moving process at least six weeks before your scheduled move date. This will provide you with plenty of time to complete all of the details that accompany moving.

6 Weeks Before Your Move:

• Take an objective look at what you own, and decide what must go and what can be left behind. Books you’ve read and will never read again? Records you haven’t listened to since college? The pan with a broken handle or the children’s long- neglected games? Extra weight costs more money.
• If you have a lot of things worth selling, you may want to organize a garage sale.
• Create a floor plan of your new home, and begin thinking about where you’ll want to place furniture. Advance planning eases the stress of making major decisions when your furniture arrives at your new home. Mark and label specific pieces of furniture on your diagram, and put it in your moving folder.
• Start a central file for all of the details on your move. It’s a good idea to buy a brightly colored organizer folder with pockets – you’ll be less likely to misplace it. Make sure to collect receipts for moving-related expenses. Depending on your reason for moving, you may be entitled to a tax deduction.
