Another State Moving Checklist

Moving to a new state can be both exciting and overwhelming, but Berger Allied Moving & Storage offers interstate moving services that make the process efficient and as stress-free as possible. To help you prepare, here’s a comprehensive checklist for moving to another state, to help ensure that nothing important is overlooked.

Plan Ahead

Start your planning early. Reach out to a real estate agent well in advance to find a new home that fits your needs. Research your new area to familiarize yourself with local amenities such as grocery stores, restaurants, hospitals, and schools. This will make the transition smoother once you arrive.

Inventory and Declutter

Create a detailed inventory of all your belongings to further help organize your move. As you go through your inventory, take the opportunity to declutter. Donate, sell, or discard items you no longer need. This reduces the volume of goods to be moved, potentially lowering moving costs.

Packing Strategy

Another important part of the checklist for moving to another state is guidelines for early packing. Begin packing several weeks ahead of your move, starting with less commonly used or off-season items. Label boxes clearly with their contents and the room they belong to in your new home. Pack essential items and important documents separately to ensure they are easily accessible. Early packing also gives you time to manage any last-minute tasks without feeling rushed.

Notify and Transfer Services

Notify utility companies of your move to schedule disconnection at your old home and connection at your new residence. Don’t forget to set up mail forwarding by completing a change of address form with USPS a few weeks before your move. This ensures you don’t miss important correspondence during the transition.

Handle Legal and Medical Records

Collect all necessary legal and medical documents. Ensure you have your children’s school records, medical files, and any other critical paperwork. Keep these documents in a safe, easily accessible place throughout the moving process.

In the final weeks leading up to your move, confirm all arrangements with Berger Allied Moving & Storage. Ensure all details are set with your moving coordinator. On moving day, do a final walkthrough of your home to ensure nothing is left behind.
