Congratulations! You are about to embark on an exciting journey as you move into your brand-new home. Whether it is your first time, or you are a seasoned mover, having a well-organized checklist can make the transition into your new home smoother and more enjoyable. To help you navigate this time, our team at Kept Classic Homes has put together a checklist to ensure you don’t miss a beat! Let’s dive in!

1.)    Change your address:

Updating your address is crucial to ensure that important documents and packages reach you at your new home. Notify the following entities about your move:

-Banks and Financial Institutions

-Employers and HR Departments

-Subscription Services (magazines, newspapers, streaming services)

-Government Agencies (DMV, Voter Registration, etc.)

-Friends and Family

2.)    Set Up Your Utilities:

Contact utility providers prior to your move in date to guarantee uninterrupted services. Key utilities to consider include:

-Electricity

-Gas

-Water and Sewage

-Trash and Recycling

-Internet and Cable

-Landline or Mobile Phone Services

3.)    Plan Your Internet and Entertainment Services:

Coordinate with your chosen internet and cable providers to ensure a seamless transition for your online and entertainment needs. Schedule installation appointments to coincide with your move-in-date.

4.)    Update Emergency Contacts and Forward Medical Records:

Ensure that your emergency contacts (doctor, dentist, etc.) are aware of your home and update your information with them. If you’re moving to a new city or state, contact your healthcare providers to transfer medical records to your new doctors. This guarantees continuity of care and makes it easier to access medical services when needed.

5.)    Enjoy Your Home and Connect with Your New Community

Familiarize yourself with local services and amenities such as grocery stores, healthcare facilities, and recreational areas. Join online forums or social media groups to connect with neighbors and gain insights into your new community!

By following this checklist, you’ll pave the way for a smooth transition into your new build home. With proper planning and organization, you can focus on settling into your new space and creating wonderful memories in your fresh surroundings. Cheers to the exciting journey ahead!
