Remember once you move into your new home there are still many things to do. Check the following list to see that your transition is a smooth one and you are soon settled in.

After you move.

 Review your final bill. Is it the same as the estimate? Check for any additional charges.

 If you discover any damage to your household goods call your moving company. Request they come to your house to inspect the damage. Moving Companies reserve the right to repair rather than replace damaged property and may choose to do so.

 For an additional fee, moving companies will unpack for you and remove all packing materials.

 Take time to familiarize yourself with your new surroundings. Tour the neighborhood to get a feel for the area.

 Check the location of your fuse box and water main valve as you become familiar with your new residence.

 If you are moving into an apartment complex become familiar with your building manager or superintendent.

Insurance claims:
If you discover and need to file a claim, here are a few tips…
   Request the necessary claim forms from your moving company.
   DO NOT discard damaged items. A claims adjuster will call you and he/she will want to inspect the damaged items.
   There is a time limit on when you can file a claim for damage to your goods.
