Homes for Sale Payson AZ – Moving Checklist for Home Sellers Today!

Ah, you are selling your house and getting ready to move. Now comes the treaded part of packing up all your belongings and everything else that comes along with moving. This task may be a big one but remember the good things of moving to a new home. However, here is a checklist to help you with your move.

It’s important to notify the post office and provide them a forwarding address for all your mail about two to four weeks before you move. You will also want to contact your credit card companies and your bank telling them about your address change. Also cancel your newspaper subscription or just notify them of your address change as well. Also, think about friends, family, and business contacts which you should notify of your address change, too.

You will want to have your utilities disconnected at your old house and connected at your new home in a timely fashion.

If you are using a moving company, you will want to check your insurance policy as they usually only cover what they (the movers) pack. If you pack a box yourself, you may be held responsible for damages in case something happens. And speaking of movers, look out for companies who overuse padding and other packing materials just to add weight, if you are paying by the pound to be moved.

Prepare an “Open First” box with essentials you will need right away at your new home. These items will include toilet paper and soap for the bathroom, trash bags and paper towels for the kitchen, along with plates and glasses. Have your cosmetic or shaving kit well stocked with needed medication, toothpaste, and other essential personal items. Also, a small tool box will come in handy with a hammer, screwdriver, and a pair of pliers.

If your new home is out of town, you will want to obtain school records for your kids along with any medical and dental records for the family including transferring your prescriptions to a new pharmacy before you leave your old home.
