After the movers have left, it's time to start settling into your new home and making it your own. Before you do, however, take the opportunity to cross a few essential tasks off your to-do list. This way, the unpacking process will run smoother and you'll be certain to find the items that are most needed. Below are three important steps to take right after you move in.

What to Do When You Get to Your New Home

1. Inspect the Home

If you're renting a house or apartment, now is the time to perform an inspection of every room. Document all existing damage, as well as problems that are going to require repairs. This is also a good idea if you are the owner of your new home. You'll have a list of condition issues that will need to be addressed at some point, helping ensure your home is safe, functional, and in decent overall shape.

2. Move the Boxes to the Right Rooms

If the movers dropped your boxes in one central spot, such as the living room, move each one to its designated space. Most movers will do this for you upon unloading, but if boxes aren't labeled, or they are labeled with multiple room designations, the movers will likely leave them in a central area. Having the right boxes in the right rooms helps you find your belongings faster and streamline the unpacking process.

3. Set Up Necessary Furniture First

After a long day of moving, you might want to do nothing more than collapse in bed and relax for a while. Upon your arrival, set up the most important furniture first so you don't have to worry about having a place to sit, eat at, or sleep in that night. Beds, chairs, and kitchen tables are usually the most indispensable furniture items that a new resident wants to assemble as soon as possible.
