How to Prepare for Your Move This Summer

Summer is on its way, and that means moving season is too. We’ve all had the stressful, thrown-together move experience where you just start throwing things in trashbags and random boxes, hoping everything works out in the end. If you’re moving this summer, you can probably hear that little voice in the back of your head saying “Start preparing now, we promised the next move will be different.”

I have to agree with the voice in your head, a little planning and preparation now can save you the heartburn of a stressful move. Here’s how WhiteFence can keep your move from becoming a nightmare:

• Plan if you’re going it alone or hiring the pros – The first thing you need to do is work out if you’re going to be moving everything yourself or if you’re hiring a moving company. While you’ll save a little money doing it yourself, it can be quite the headache. Unsure if you can afford to hire a mover or just looking for the best price on moving service? Check our Mover Quotes page to get quotes from all of the top movers.

• Put together a checklist and stick to it – The most important thing you can do now is to blueprint everything you’re going to have to do for your move. Not sure what you’re going to need to do? No problem, just head over to our Moving Checklist page and we’ll build a checklist customized for your schedule and needs for FREE!

• Order your home services in advance – The only thing worse than unpacking all day, is not having any TV to watch when you’re done for the day! Unless you’re planning on going without TV, Internet, a phone line, electricity and natural gas for a while once you get to your new place, you’re going to have to order your services in advance. With WhiteFence, you can shop all the top providers at once to find the best plans for your needs. Just head over to the WhiteFence homepage and enter your address to get started!
