Tips for Locating Professional Services in Your New Neighborhood

There are many things to consider as you plan a move, so it’s easy to forget some of the most important tasks. One oft-overlooked detail is finding new professional services in the neighborhood to which you’re relocating.

The long-distance movers from Bekins of South Florida have put together a list of professional services to look for ahead of your move.

  • Post Office: You don’t want to put the change of address card into the post office too far in advance of your move. Generally speaking, you should turn it in 7 to 10 days before your move.
  • Local Schools: Do you have children? If so, you’ll need to start researching schools as soon as you know where you’re moving. If you’re moving during the school year, schedule a time for to visit the school with your child to help them get the lay of the land before they have to start attending school.
  • Banking: Even if you don’t need to find a new bank, you’ll want to be sure to change the address you have on file to be sure that you don’t miss any communication from your financial institution.
  • Medical Needs: Start reading reviews and asking for recommendations well ahead of the move. You’ll want to have services such as doctors and dentists lined up as soon as possible.
  • Pet Care: Don’t forget the pets! You’ll need to find new professional services for them, including grooming, vet care, and boarding.

Also, remember that you’ll have to transfer your utilities. It’s a good idea to turn them off in your old home a day after the move and on in your new home the day before. This minimizes the chance that you’ll be without utilities at either place.
