Moving Out Tips

There are many ways to use this moving binder to help plan your move and organize your home improvement projects.   You’ll find the Tip Junkie Move Yourself Binder broken down into easy to access categories!

Six Main Categories:

1. Moving Checklist
2. Home Improvements ~ Room by Room Survey
3. Estimates

 1.  Moving Checklist

• Garage Sale information and Plans
• Moving Supplies to Buy
• Room Color Chart
• Movers and Truck Rental Estimates and Contracts.

 2.  Home Improvements ~ Room by Room Survey

Most moves require home improvements, and this section will help you keep track of what needs to be done.

• Repairs needed, budget, and money spent for each room.
• Paint colors and the formula sticker and type of finish of the paint.
  • Home staging list for furniture placement, etc.

3.  Estimates

One of the things you’ll probably dislike the most but is so important is getting multiple estimates for movers, home repair contractors, and handymen.

• Estimates from contractors.
• Contractor List ~ big lists of recommended contractors, landscapers, handy men, etc.

4.  Movers & Truck

Company contact information, estimates, and contracts for movers and truck rental information can be found here.  You’ll also find high-value forms, insurance, and other misc. information you’ll need!

5.  New Home & School

Keep all of your future home prospects {Realtor.com print outs}, school district zoning maps, new doctor referral information, and other contact information together in one section.

6.  Receipts

Keep every receipt for every item you purchase that applies to the move in one place. This will save you time if you have to return an item, if something is faulty, and {importantly} for taxes.

• Receipts from when and where item was purchased.
• contact information for the companies who made the items {if necessary}

Now you just need to insert sheet protectors and you are good to go! I hope that this “How to Move” Binder is as helpful to you as it’s been to me. I’m all about designing ways to make life easier and more meaningful, and certainly less stressful!  {{wink}}
