Your Countdown to the Move

Planning ahead can help ensure that your move goes as smoothly as possible.
We have complied this checklist to assist you in organizing your move.

  • Arrange travel plans, including airline and hotel reservations. Service the car if you are driving to your new home.
  • Contact your local utilities and notify them of disconnection dates.
  • Empty your medicine cabinet. Discard outdated medications, and refill the prescriptions that you need.
  • Have your pets inoculated if necessary, and arrange for shipping to your new home.
  • Confirm with your Callahan Move Coordinator any extra stops required to pick up or deliver goods to another location other than the main origin and destination points.
  • If you have not yet sold your home and will be leaving it unoccupied, check with your insurance agent to make sure you are fully covered. Many policies have clauses that exclude coverage if the house is unoccupied.
  • Dispose of all flammables such as fireworks, cleaning fluids, matches and aerosols. Drain fuel from all lawn equipment. Refillable propane tanks must be purged and sealed by a propane dealer.
