Once moving boxes and other items have been unloaded from the moving truck, this means you are just half-way through the process of a successful relocation. After "packing and moving" comes the next chapter, which is "unpack and decorate". But before this is done, here are some important reminders to think about:

(a)    Make your new home relocation-ready. Before moving your things, it is important to clean your new place. As much as possible, remove unwanted stains from floors, ceilings or walls. You can apply paint to cover some of the noticeable flaws. If needed, you may also want to perform minor revisions on the entire structure with the help of a qualified professional.
(b)    Take time to introduce yourself to your neighbors. As early as possible, it would be best to make new friends and form bonds with your new neighbors.
(c)    Make a quick tour of the community. You may want to familiarize yourself with the local amenities such as hospital, convenience store, and church among others.
(d)    If you will be moving with kids, make sure that you have already made arrangements with the school before the big move. This can be much of a concern especially to growing kids, thus, this should be given with much importance.
