Becker Movers, the experts in residential and international moving services, help many families every year make the exciting move into a new home. The physical moving of a family’s belongings is an important stage in the moving process, Becker Movers also recognizes that the ‘settling in’ phase that a family experiences after they have moved to their destination is equally important. Here, they share some tips on how to make this transition as smooth as possible.

1. Get familiar with the place: Go out, walk the streets (or drive them), and visit the local hangout spots. If you like getting your morning coffee, find out where the best cup of joe can be bought.
   
2. Speak with the locals: Say hello to not only your immediate neighbors, but also the other people living in your community. They will not only recommend where to get the best shopping deals, but may also become your new friends. If you’re a parent, making friends with local families will help your kids integrate better into the school and its community.
   
3. Host a housewarming party: This may be daunting for some who don’t know many people in their new place, but a party can be the perfect way to break the ice with new acquaintances. Invite people you work with, as you know you’ll have to get to know them sooner or later. If you really don’t know anyone, take your family out for a special dinner to reward yourselves for taking this big step.
   
4. Attend community events: If you stay at home, you will feel isolated and may even get depressed. If you make an effort to get out of the house, you’re opening up yourself to countless opportunities for inspiration and connections with others. Your mood is guaranteed to pick up once you’re out of the door.
