Get Organized with this Handy Moving Checklist!Organization is the key to a successful move! Use this helpful checklist to get things done at the right time. Start early and refer to this list often!
6 - 8 Weeks Before Move
■ If you’re using a moving company, check to make sure your move is scheduled.
■ Make a list of items you want to take with you and what you want to toss. Consider donating unwanted items to charity or hold a garage sales.
■ If you’re doing your own packing, gather supplies you need (boxes, tape, markers).
■ Develop a fl oor plan of your new home’s layout, noting where each item will go. This will help reduce the stress of making decisions later.
■ Get to know your new community. The local Chamber of Commerce can provide information on schools, community programs, parks & recreation facilities.
■ Finalize all real estate or rental needs.
■ Contact your insurance agent to transfer medical, property, fi re & auto insurance.
■ Put all medical / dental records in a safe and accessible place. Be sure to include prescription and vaccination records.
■ Notify schools in the old and new locations and arrange to transfer school records. Start the process of registering in new schools.
4-5 Weeks Before Move
■ Contact or visit your local Post Offi ce to obtain a Change of Address form.
■ Notify family, friends, banks, insurance & credit card companies, doctors, dentists, clubs, associations and magazine / newspaper subscriptions about your move.
■ Contact utility providers (telephone, gas, electric, TV and trash collection) at new and old locations to make arrangements for connections and disconnections.
■ Complete banking arrangements in old & new locations and transfer funds to your new bank.
■ Check requirements for new driver’s licence and auto registration in your destination province.
3 Weeks Before Move
■ Make transportation arrangements for pets. Take them to your veterinarian for a complete check-up. Ask for a certifi cate stating their clean bill of health.
■ Gather all important documents, such as wills, stock certifi cates, and other unique items (jewelry, coin collection, photos). Place them in one easily identifi able and easy to locate folder or box, so you can take them with you on moving day.
■ Collect items that are being repaired, stored, or cleaned (clothing, shoes, etc.)
2 Weeks Before Move
■ Transfer all prescriptions to a pharmacy in your new neighbourhood. Clear out safety deposit boxes.
■ Back up all your computer fi les. Disconnect and pack your computer system.
■ Make fi nal packing decisions. Clean and clear your home including closets, basement and attic.
■ Drain your lawn mower and power tools of all fl uids for safe transportation.
■ If you need extra storage, contact a storage provider.
■ Have your vehicle serviced if you plan to travel by car.
■ Cancel newspaper subscription and other regular activities.
■ Arrange for a baby sitter fi r your kids during the loading and unloading process.
1 Week Before Move
■ Make sure you haven’t overlooked anything in the house. Check, double-check, and re-check!
■ Empty, defrost, and clean your refrigerator, freezer, and your stove at least 24 hours before moving to let them air out.
■ Pick up any dry cleaning or laundry and pay any outstanding bills you may have with local businesses.
■ Return videos, library books and anything you borrowed from the neighbors.
■ Gather keys, alarm codes, and garage door openers to hand them over to the new owners or realtor.
Moving Day!
■ Hand over keys, alarm codes, and garage door remote controls to the new owner or realtor.
■ Clean your house as much as you can before your moving crew arrives. Search every room and closet before the movers arrive to be sure you haven’t forgotten anything.
■ Keep your fl oor plan on hand as a reference, for both you and the movers.
■ Find a safe, quiet place for pets so they aren’t in the way of the moving crew.
■ Verify that all utilities have been disconnected in your old home and connected in your new home. Have your phone connected a day before move-in day.

Add Big Value With Inexpensive Home Improvements
TIPSW E E K L Y
FREE
You may have always wanted a big project like renovating an old house. Or you may have fallen in love with a slightly rundown but charming place.
If you can’t afford big-ticket items like renovated kitchens or adding bathrooms; consider small improvements that can make a big difference.
There are plenty of inexpensive tricks that can provide some incentive to perk up your investment, without a complete overhaul. Here’s 7 boosters to get the home beautifi cation process rolling:
1. Modernize the Mess HallBrighten the cabinets in the kitchen with a fresh coat of paint or some updated hardware. Add a new faucet, light fi xtures or change the
window coverings for a more modern feel.
2. Spa SparkleA quick fi xture change, a new toilet seat and fresh accessories can be all you need to brighten up the bathroom. A fresh coat of grout in the shower or maybe even a new pre-fabricated tub can do wonders.
3. Ardent Appliances If new appliances aren’t in the budget, look to re-facing. Some appliance doors can just be fl ipped inside out for the opposite color, so all you need is a screwdriver to update. You can also request new fronts and tops from the manufacturer to create the streamlined look.
4. Machine CleanSpruce up neutral carpets with
a professional cleaning to brighten up the room and clear any unwanted odors or stains. If your carpet is blemished, try placing area rugs or large furniture over the worn spots.
5. Light Up Your LifeBreezy window coverings allow you to control how much natural lighting you’d like to let in, and a strategically placed table lamp or a dramatic chandelier can add character, while making your rooms appear larger and more open.
6. Straighten Out Your StorageCreate space by utilizing closet organizers or wire and laminate shelving in the pantry, closet and garage. Purge some old junk in a yard sale or donate to remove some clutter & make
the space look bigger.
7. Opportunity KnocksChoose a hearty piece of hardware for your front door that emphasizes sturdiness, and a bold color that says, “look at me!” Refi nish the front door with a bright hue or faux fi nish for a refreshing fi rst impression.

TIPSW E E K L Y
FREE
Buying a home? These seven tips can make your house-hunting experience positive & rewarding.
1. Location counts - you’ve probably heard the
old real estate joke about “location, location,
location”, but the point still bears repeating.
Location is critical. How far are you really
willing to drive to your place of employment?
How good are the local schools and public
transportation? Even a picture-perfect dream
home can be a mistake if it’s in an undesirable
location, and a poor-location home can be
a particularly bad choice if you anticipate
reselling the home in a few years.
2. Make a list - Do you (and your spouse, if
you’re married) really know what you need
and want in your home? You’ll save many
hours of shopping (and potential arguing) if
you make a list ahead of time. Zero in on the
features you must have, would like to have,
defi nitely don’t want and would prefer not to
have. Your goal is to fi nd the right home for
your family without falling in love with one
that doesn’t suit your needs. Start compiling
your wish list by thinking about what you
like & dislike about your current home.
3. Do your homework - not too long ago,
consumers had very little access to information
about recent home sale prices, market trends,
homes on the market, neighbourhood statistics
and the home-buying process. Today, all this
information and more is available. Go surfi ng
on the web or ask a realtor to provide you
with this information. Get educated. Become
empowered.
4. Get pre-approved for a mortgage - Your
top-dollar home price is a function of your
household income, your credit worthiness,
interest rates, the type of loan you select
and how much cash you have or are willing
to offer for the down payment. Rather than
guessing or estimating how much you are
going to be able to afford to spend, ask a
lender or a mortgage broker to give you a full
assessment and ask for a letter stating how
much you’re qualifi ed to borrow. The true
amount may be much more or less than you
think.
5. Use a checklist - touring multiple homes can
be a confusing experience for most people.
Rather than relying on memory, make
notes about the homes you visit. Create a
personalized home-shopping checklist and
use it to track the features of each home that
you’re interested in.
6. Be prepared to make an offer - house
hunting can be frustrating, especially if you
know you’re not ready to buy a home. If
you’re not ready, don’t put yourself through
the exercise. If you are ready, ask your realtor
to go over a blank purchase agreement ahead
of time so you’ll know what decisions you’ll
face when you make the offer.
7. Relax - granted, buying a home is a major
life-altering event. But it’s not worth making
yourself crazy or super over-stressed about.
Save time at the end of your house-hunting
expedition to unwind, calm your thoughts
and emotions and keep the whole experience
in perspective.
