The key to a stress-free and smooth move is organization. Admittedly, there are lots of details to consider. But taking the time to think of as many points as you can before hand will definitely pay off later on. One really great tool I discovered a few years ago, and have used twice now, is a planning organizer from EaseUrMove. The organizer considers utilities, pets, kids, cars, storage, and every detail you can possibly encounter associated with moving. It also organizes details to consider into a timeline, so you not only know what moving details to consider, but what order to accomplish them in. The small fee is well worth the stress it will relieve you of, believe me.
Another very important key to stress free moving is choosing a reputable moving company that you can trust. It is important to choose a fully licensed, highly rated moving company that is pre-screened for full compliance with state and federal regulations and has the required insurance to perform your move.

I cannot stress the importance of choosing a reputable moving company enough. If you actually check out other forums and read about other people’s moving experiences, you’d see that there are a lot of scammers out there. Movers who charge extra, movers who don’t show up on time, movers who keep your belongings hostage until you pay up huge costs that were not included in your deal, scratched and damages furniture, the list of horror stories is just endless!
