Tips for Locating Professional Services in Your New Neighborhood

You’ll have a lot on your mind when planning a move. One task that’s easy to forget is finding new professional services—and this is something you should start doing well ahead of your move. 

Finding new services goes beyond just turning on utilities and finding the fastest WiFi; it also includes finding doctors, schools, and more.

Here are some of the services you’ll need to consider when planning a long-distance move.

  • Forwarding Mail: Submit a change of address to your post office between 7 to 10 days before you move. Some people set up a P.O. box at their new post office where they have mail sent until they are sure of reliable mail delivery. 
  • Local Schools: Do you have kids? If so, learning about the schools near your new home is one of the most important things to consider. If you’re moving during the school year, try to arrange a time to visit the school with your child ahead of their first day to make them more comfortable. 
  • Utilities: Have your utilities turned off at your existing home the day before you move out and on at your new home the day before you move in.
  • Banking: Online banking means that it’s unlikely you’ll need to find a new bank. You will, however, want to update the bank about your new address and contact information.
  • Medical Needs: Look for recommendations for doctors, dentists, optometrists, and other specialty health providers your family needs.
  • Vets and Groomers: Don’t forget your furry friends! Search for new groomers, vets, daycare, and boarding.
