Before you head to your new home, check this list to save yourself some hassle:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Notify Your Neighbors<\/strong> \u2014 Even if you\u2019re not friends with your neighbors, let them know about the move. It\u2019s the considerate thing to do and even more important if you\u2019ll require access to their driveway or have moving vehicles parked near their home.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Obtain Childcare<\/strong> \u2014 Children may have trouble adjusting to a new move, making moving day stressful for them. Even if your child is happily on board, they still might get bored while the moving process is happening. If they\u2019re too young to help, obtain childcare for the day.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Consider Your Pets<\/strong> \u2014 Dogs and cats may find the moving process upsetting. Rather than keeping them crated or leashed all day, opt for \u201cdoggie daycare.\u201d Pet sitting facilities offer outdoor areas for pets to enjoy and even offer fun activities for them. Your pet will enjoy it and you\u2019ll have peace of mind during your move. After you\u2019re settled in, gently introduce your pet to their new home.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Turn the Utilities On<\/strong> \u2014 It\u2019s easy to let details slip your mind during a move. Make sure you\u2019ve already arranged to have your new home\u2019s utilities turned on before you arrive, otherwise you may be left in the dark on your first day.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Your \u201cFirst Day\u201d Box<\/strong> \u2014 Make moving day easier and more pleasant by packing a \u201cFirst Day in Your New Home\u201d box. Packed inside the box should be everything you need for a comfortable first 24 hours in your new place. This might include things like a first aid kit, cell phones and chargers, snacks and bottled water, shower supplies, and bedding \u2014 for starters. Each member of your family can make their own box as well, so everyone has the items they need to feel comfortable.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check on the Parking Situation<\/strong> \u2014 You don\u2019t want to be surprised with a parking problem when you arrive at your new home. Make sure you\u2019ve already assessed the parking situation and know where you are going to park.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Contact Us<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re planning a move, contact the Beltmann Relocation Group.
