Smooth Moves: Resources for Settling Into a New Neighborhood

Moving to a new neighborhood can be both exciting and stressful. Between handling admin, logistics, and integrating yourself in the community, there’s plenty to keep track of - here are a few resources to help.

Logistics

There are plenty of logistical tasks that require your time and attention when moving locally or out of state.

● Before you’ve begun the process of moving properties, it’s worth compiling a checklist that includes any essential tasks and errands

● A moving company can make or break a move - take the time to research different services and find one that you can rely on

● If you have any pets, make sure that you’ve figured out a process ahead of time to ensure they’re safe and comfortable throughout the move

Admin

Keeping track and staying on top of key administrative tasks will make your move far easier and more straightforward.

● If you’re moving out of state, there are plenty of administrative tasks to remember, such as changing your driving license or registering to vote

● Alert your utility providers of the move as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary charges

● Make sure you alert your banks or, if you’re changing banks, begin transferring money into your new account
