Updated: Aug 24

Whether you're packing yourself or hiring professionals, a smooth house move starts with good planning.

    Follow this moving checklist to stay organized and stress-free:


1. Declutter Before You Pack


​​    Reduce the load by getting rid of items you no longer need or use. Donate, sell, or responsibly dispose of anything that won’t be coming with you. A lighter load means less packing and potentially lower moving costs.


Decluttering clothes is a good start for a less volume move.

2. Get the Right Materials


Stock up on quality packing materials to protect your belongings during the move. Recommended items include:​​​

​​

  • Buy moving boxes (various sizes)

  • Strong packing tape

  • Bubble wrap or packing paper for fragile items

  • Mattress covers and sofa covers to protect furniture

  • Permanent markers for labeling

3. Label Everything Clearly


    Label all boxes and furniture with their room destination and a brief list of contents. This will make unpacking at your new home faster and easier.


When the items are labeled, the movers can easily put them in the right place.
