8 Weeks Out
Create a moving budget Establishing a moving budget is essential to keep your expenses in check. Include costs for moving supplies, hiring movers, and utility transfers. Track these expenses to avoid overspending.
Research moving companies Take the time to research different moving companies. Read reviews, compare prices, and ensure they are licensed and insured. Schedule in-home estimates to get accurate quotes.
Start decluttering
Begin by sorting through your belongings to determine what to keep, donate, or discard. Focus on one room at a time and consider using the four-box method: keep, donate, sell, or trash. This will help reduce the amount of items you need to move and make packing easier.

4 Weeks Out
Notify utility companies Contact utility providers to inform them of your move. Schedule disconnections and connections to ensure services are up and running on moving day. This includes electricity, water, gas, and internet services.
Gather packing supplies Collect all necessary packing supplies such as boxes, bubble wrap, packing tape, and markers. Start with medium to large boxes for bulk items, and keep specialized boxes for fragile items to ensure a smooth packing process.
Begin packing nonessentials
Start packing items that you won’t need until after the move. This can include seasonal clothing, books, and decorative items. Clearly label each box with its contents and the room it belongs to, making unpacking easier.
Conclusions By following these steps four weeks before your move, you can streamline the moving process. Staying organized helps reduce stress and ensures that your moving day goes smoothly.
Thank you!
