Moving into a new home is exciting, but it can create a lot of stress if you don’t have a good plan in place ahead of your move. To help, we’ve compiled our best tips for making your next move a smooth one.
A Few Weeks Before Your Move
To ensure that you’re prepared well in advance, here are a few things to consider a couple weeks out from your move:
Schedule movers
Schedule a cleaning service for your old home and maybe your new one too after the moving dust settles
Schedule your utility transfer/cut-off date
Have a garage sale
Acquire packing supplies
Begin packing room by room and label all your boxes so you know what’s inside
The Day Before Your Move
To ensure you’re ready to go the morning of your move, here are some tips to stay organized and relaxed:
Color code or label boxes according to each room you want them to be placed in
Pack plenty of water and snacks in easy-to-find places
Have cash on hand for tipping the movers
Board your pets so they won’t be harmed during the hustle and bustle of moving
Pack your essential items separately for the first night in your new home
The Day of Your Move
You made it – moving day is here! Follow these suggestions for a successful, stress-free day:
Wake up early to get a head start on the day
Secure valuable/breakable items that you want to make sure won’t be lost
Pack up any last-minute items that were left out and throw away any perishable food
Do a final walkthrough to make sure you aren’t missing anything
Label or color code the rooms at your new house so movers know which room to place boxes in (sticky notes are useful to place on doors or frames)
Moving is tough work! Regardless of whether you have an easy move or a more stressful one, at the end of the day, being in your new home is what matters. For more moving tips or to find the next home of your dreams, contact your InterLinc loan originator.
It was such pleasure working with Blake and the InterLinc staff. From the beginning Blake ensured we had constant communication as the loan process continued. Even when delays occurred, due to no fault of InterLinc, Blake worked hard to get our loan and closing back on track. I will definitely recommend Blake and InterLinc to any of my friends and coworkers looking to get a loan in TN. Thank you.

The efficiency and professionalism of getting all the paperwork required was top notch. Our closing date got moved forward 10 days towards the end and this team was still able to pull everything together in time, very happy to have worked with them and would recommend to anyone who needs a home loan lender.

Casey was so patient when helping us out. We were buying a house from a family member who was difficult. She helped us get through the entire process with ease.
