7 Relocation Mistakes to Avoid
2
1 Not researching first One major mistake to
avoid making is not researching the area/city
you are moving to. Becoming familiar with your
new community is important, including locating
the nearest grocery store, gas station and
checking out the schools in the area if
needed.  2 Assuming You Have Enough Time You
never have as much time as you think you do, its
a great idea to put together a timetable for your
move and then stick to it. How far in advance
should you plan? Ideally allow 1 2 months of
prep time so you can factor in the delays, and
other issues, that can and do happen. .

3 Rushed Rentals Do not rush into renting your
old house or apartment to the first person that
shows any interest. This is a decision youll
have months, maybe years, to regret. A good
tenant will give you the peace of mind you need
when youre not going to be physically able to
check on your property every other week. A bad
tenant could potentially cost you thousands of
dollars. 4 Forgetting Your Bare
Necessities Anyone who has ever relocated to a
new city, only to realize that they forgot the
single most important item in their entire home,
will guess what were going to say next Never
pack all your important personal belongings in
boxes you wont see for several days or weeks.
What things should you keep within arms reach
during your journey? Credit cards, cash, checks,
your drivers license, a favorite blanket and
toys for your kids, a favorite toy for your pet,
some basic toiletries, and medication you might
need, a map, and a clean change of clothes.  You
can add to this list if you like whatever it
takes to avoid this particular headache.

5 Not timing it right To help lower the cost
of relocating, you may want to avoid moving
during the summer and at the beginning and end of
the month. The site notes you may be able to
negotiate the costs of moving services for less
busy times.  6 Planning For Pets Unless youre
made of stone youre not going to leave your pets
behind, so that means a trip to the vets to make
sure theyre up to date on all their shots. Also,
dont forget to ask the vet for any tips for
making the journey as comfortable as possible for
your best friend. Your pet that is, not the vet.
Well, unless your vet is your best friend, but
theyre unlikely to move to another city with
you.

7 Choosing the Relocation Company Casually Even
if youve decided to use a relocating service
provider, you still cant just pick anyone. You
need to evaluate and measure all your options so
as to ensure that your stuff is only handled by
skilled and accomplished professionals. It isnt
uncommon for movers to ruin a piece of equipment
or furniture through rough handling. Moreover,
movers can also end up losing things during the
relocation process. If youre relocating your
business, then you need to find a professional
and reliable moving company. Considering multiple
options will also be useful because it will allow
you to find more economical alternatives.
