2 Weeks Before You Move…

• Clear out any rooms in your house that haven't been emptied yet.

• Collect all of your most valuable belongings, such as jewelry, and keep them separate from the rest of your packed items.

On Move-In Day…

• Take inventory of all boxes that were picked up and delivered to your new home, making sure everything is there before the movers leave.
