It seems like it has taken forever to get to this moment This day is always a blur in my mind

If you're fortunate enough to have professional packers, let them do the packing Anything that is not packed by them will not be covered by the moving company if damaged

To guard against theft or loss, it is advisable not to load the following types of high-value items on a moving van, especially if your inventory will be placed in a storage facility for any length of time Many of these items have a high resale value in the black market and are small enough to unknowingly slip into the wrong hands

Moving companies cannot transport potentially hazardous items Most moving companies have identified the following household items as potentially hazardous

Pack a box of items that you will need immediately alter your move Load this box on the truck last so it will come oil the truck first

Get your supplies ready: boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap, wide packing tape, removable tape, scissors, box cutters, black felt-tip markers, plastic bags, and toolbox Pack one room at a time

Boxes, boxes, and more boxes The first time my family moved across the country, we packed everything ourselves to save money

If someone from your family or you suffering from adjustment disorder, consult an expert for help if the following symptoms persist: bed wetting (in children), depression, mood swings, nightmares, personality changes, and sleeplessness Talk to your spouse, employer, or doctor about the situation and seek counseling

It's important to keep track of where your money is going when you are moving, especially if you need the proceeds from one home sale to close on another house Most of the figures for the following charts can be found on your monthly mortgage statement, on your yearly tax bill, from your good faith estimate, or by contacting your real estate agent or relocation counselor

A relocation appraisal is a highly educated estimate of the most probable sales price at which your home will sell in the current market within a reasonable length of time based on market data (sales comparisons of houses of similar value in your community) The appraiser will inspect your home and property, analyze the factors that influence the market in your area, and estimate a market value for your home
