Moving Tips

Old home

• Pick up the truck as early as possible if you are moving yourself.
• Make a list of every item and box loaded on the truck.
• Label each box with the contents and the room where you want it to be delivered.
• Let the mover know how to reach you.
• Double-check closets, cupboards, attic, basement and garage for any left-behind items.

• Be on hand at the new home to answer questions and give instructions to the mover.
• Check off boxes and items as they come off the truck.
• Install new locks.
• If you've used Windermere's Northwest Home Connections program, your utilities should be turned on and ready for use.
• Unpack your "first day" box.
• Unpack children's toys and find a safe place for them to play.
• Examine your goods for damage.
