Moving into a new home can be extremely overwhelming. Believe me, I have moved about 4 times in the last 3 years. Double checking to make sure I packed everything and making sure everything arrives in one piece is a mental struggle! However, I found that having a checklist always helps me to make sure every point I need to meet, is met! Below is your Go-To Checklist when moving into your next home.
