When you move to a new home, the first day can be exciting and scary. You might see lots of boxes everywhere and can’t find things you need, like your toothbrush or pajamas. Also, you have to set up important stuff like the internet. That’s why Simplified offers “settling in” services to help make your first day smoother. Before you even move, Simplified plans everything so that you can feel more relaxed and happy when you arrive in your new place.
5 Tips for Settling Quickly in Your New Home
As experienced moving experts based in Boston, our Simplified Moves team has helped hundreds of people move to new homes. Over the years, we’ve gathered lots of great tips to simplify your move and make your first week in a new place really smooth and fun, even if you have a long list of things to do. We know moving can feel overwhelming, especially if it’s a long-distance move, so we’ve figured out the best ways to help you settle in quickly. With Simplified’s advice, you can enjoy your new home right from the start without all the stress.
- Cut Down on Waiting: The first big step to save time is to cut down on waiting around. Our team at Simplified can wait for the cable guy or stand in line for other services you need to set up in your new home.
- Set Up All Service Appointments on One Day: Since setting up things like electricity and water often needs someone to visit your house, why not have all these visits on the same day? This way, you get everything done at once. Need to reschedule last-minute? No problem; we will be there.
- Make a Handyman To-Do List: List everything that needs fixing in your new home. Getting a handyman to do everything in one visit saves a lot of time instead of having them come multiple times.
- Get a Babysitter: If you have kids, hiring a babysitter to look after them can be helpful. This lets you focus on getting your new home ready without distractions. (Have pets? We can help you hire a dog walker or pet sitter, too.)
- Think About Professional Unpacking: Having someone else unpack and set up your new place means you can start enjoying your new neighborhood sooner, helping you feel at home faster.
