Time to Move Into Your New Home

You made it! You're now ready to move into your new home. Moving is like life — it's what you make it.

The first thing to know is that being organized throughout the whole process will make your life easier. Plan ahead and try not to delay the not-so-fun tasks of getting several moving-company quotes, finding temporary storage facilities and deciding what to move, donate or throw away. Even old throw-away items — paint, tires and computers, to name a few —will need some special attention. Moving day is not packing day, so start your packing well in advance, and have all your boxes and containers ready to go on the morning the truck arrives to haul everything to your new home.

HomeFinder.com's comprehensive Moving Guide tells you all you need to know on how to begin and finish a successful move:

Planning. Our detailed checklists will help you prepare well in advance and guide you through the entire process — from 12 weeks before your move to the day you settle into your new home.

Choosing movers. Knowing what to look for in a quality mover is the first important step in getting your belongings there safely.

Figuring costs. Learn all about pricing, mover tariffs, estimating your costs and how to save money.

Self-service moving. An excellent choice for those who want to take some matters into their own hands, without paying for full service.

Packing. One of the most important aspects of a smooth move is knowing how to properly pack your belongings and valuables with the right supplies.

Special considerations. How much should you tip movers? Is insurance necessary? What is green moving? How do you prepare for living in a new country?
