When you know what date you will be moving, you will need to do the following:

• If you're leasing your current home, give written notice to the landlord of your intent to move.
• Contact all utility companies (telephone, gas, electric, water/sewer, cable) and disconnect at your current address and schedule reconnect appointments at your new home as of the day of settlement.
• Contact a moving company (or several) and get estimates of the cost. Schedule the appointment to get packed and moved.
• Contact your insurance company for your new homeowners' insurance policy. They may ask several questions about the structure, etc. to estimate replacement value -- your Realtor can assist with these questions. Provide policy to lender.
• Contact current school(s) and register at new school(s) for transferring your children.
• Make an inventory of your personal property. This list could be invaluable in case of fire or theft.
• Continue updating lender as necessary. Your lender will provide you with a list of items that will need before settlement, such as current bank statements, pay stubs, etc.
• Fill out a change of address form with the Post Office.
