Moving out of state is an exciting time as you plan for a fresh start in a new place. However, this big move will require some special planning and research that a typical across-town move doesn’t require. Know how to prepare for a relocation to a different state; with the right approach, you’ll find moving day to be a breeze.

Guide to a Successful Interstate Relocation

1. Conduct a Purge

The need to pack everything up is the perfect excuse to sort through everything. Make three piles: things to throw away, things to donate or sell, and things that you wish to keep. People tend to accumulate belongings that they don’t necessarily want or need.

2. Research the New Area

Your new home will be very different from your current one, so know what to expect. Research the climate conditions year-round, and you’ll know what types of clothing you need to bring with you. Research school districts so your children can get settled in their new classes as soon as possible. Explore your new neighborhood to find clubs or programs for the children to join, a restaurant to try your first week there, and anything else that will get everyone excited for their new home.

3. Visit the Area

Plan a trip to your new neighborhood before moving day, and bring all family members with you. Exploring the area will help everyone feel a little less confused when they first arrive, and they’ll be more excited for the new life awaiting them there. Walk through your new home and take measurements of the rooms and storage areas so you can plan for what will go where. As you pack, label each box and piece of furniture so your movers know where to place it.
