Prepare the Way

Before you hop into the moving truck, take care of these tasks to pave the way:

●       Notify any important institutions of your change of address.

●       Transfer or set up your gas, electricity, and water with local agencies.

●       Find an internet provider that offers excellent coverage in your new area.

●       Find the DMV office nearest to your new home so that you can update your license and registration.

●       Pack any important documents and family photos so that they are safe and secure during the move.

Start Unpacking

There’s an art to unpacking a new home, and here are the most essential steps to keep in mind:

●       Make a priority list for unpacking, starting with the room or items that will help you feel most at home at your new place.

●       After you have unpacked your essentials, take it one room at a time and organize your items as you unpack.

●       Clean your new home before and after you unpack all of your belongings.

Settle In

Once you’ve unpacked your home (or as you’re in the process), start making an effort to become acquainted with your new home and community.

●       Try to begin your regular routine as soon as you can; this will help you, your kids, and your pets get used to the new place faster.

●       Throw a housewarming party to meet your neighbors.

●       Explore your community to meet people around town and see what local businesses you can support.

●       Make a plan for any home improvements necessary to create the living environment you envision.

Charlotte County is a beautiful place to live with friendly neighbors and plenty of attractions to welcome your family. Help the process go as smoothly as possible for yourselves by following the simple tips above. And of course, keep thinking of other ways you can prepare for settling into the next chapter in your lives!
