E-Z Movers, Inc.: Celebrating National Moving Month

May 8, 2012 - PRLog -- To kick off the moving busy season, E-Z Movers, Inc. (http://www.e-zmovers.com/), a leading moving company located in Skokie, IL, celebrates the American Moving and Storage Association (AMSA)-sponsored National Moving Month in May.

With the kids almost out of school for the summer, 45 percent of families, who plan to move, will relocate in the next 4-5 months. If your family is one of those families, take a look below at our five steps to a stress-free move.

Five Steps to a Smooth Move

5. Make a list. Or use the list created by E-Z Movers, Inc. Check out the checklist of things to do one month before, two weeks before, one week before and on moving day to make sure you do not forget anything. Important tasks to check off early include notifying your professional moving company as far in advance as possible, and doing an inventory of your furniture and belongings. This will ensure your moving company has all the information they need to make the move an easy one. Having a comprehensive list of your entire household will make sure nothing is lost or forgotten.

4. Notify all close friends and family of your move in person. Whether you are celebrating a new job, a new home or simply a new chapter in your life, sharing it with your loved ones in person will give them the opportunity to process this major change and ask any questions they may have. It also gives you the chance to socialize with these important people one more time before the big move.

3. Get your personal information in order while you are still in town. Don’t forget to close bank accounts, collect copies of medical and veterinary records, cancel local newspaper or magazine subscriptions, cancel gym memberships and roll over any employer-managed 401(k)s into independent IRAs. These things can become troublesome when you’re no longer in the city to handle them in person.

2. Take advantage of your city. Sure, you’re leaving for good reason, but right before you move is a great reason to visit your favorite restaurant, see one last sporting event or just go for a nice long walk in a nearby park. Now is the time to appreciate what you’re leaving so you can enjoy where you’re going.

1. Try to relax. After you have contracted with a professional moving company you trust, like E-Z Movers, Inc., and completed your moving checklist, sit back and try to relax. Relocating is a stressful change, but consciously managing your anxiety, and working with professional movers you can rely on, will ensure you have a perfect move.
