8-Week Moving Timeline: Moving Checklist

by | Sep 8, 2021 | Features

If you are moving into a new home and out of an old one, you want to set up a checklist. Eight weeks before your move you want to start looking for a house or apartment and decide if you’re going to use a professional moving company. Four weeks before your move you want to contact your child’s school and get their academic records so you can enroll them into their new school. One week before your move you should call the moving company and confirm that everything is still on task for your move.

Key Takeaways:

  • 8 weeks before moving you should make a decision on whether you’re going to hire a professional moving company and if so, you should be getting quotes from them.
  • 4 weeks before moving you should be getting your children’s academic records so you can enroll them at their new school.
  • 1 week before moving you should call your moving company to confirm everything is on task and also assess how your packing progress is going.

“Request in-home surveys from professional movers so that you get accurate cost estimates that will reflect the final price you pay in the end.”
