Prepare a Budget
One of the most stressful things about moving is the unexpected cost that comes with it. There always seems to be something that pops up that you were not anticipating. We recommend sitting down and making a list of all anticipated costs and other things that could come up as well.
- Think about moving costs. Are you going to hire a moving company or do it yourself? How much will it cost to rent the truck? How much would you have to pay the movers?
- Think about setting up your new place. What will you need to set up prior to the first night you are in your new home? Will the power be turned on and will you have AC or heat, depending on which season you move in?
- Think about what you need to make it feel like home. Will you need to purchase new furniture? Are you going to have it painted or updated prior to moving in?
Update Your Information
Next, you will need to update all of your contact information. Have you changed your mailing address and where your bills should be sent to? Here’s what to do prior to relocating to Brooklyn.
- Change your address with the post office.
- Contact your utility companies, and make sure that you cancel your old residence’s bill or switch to your new address.
- Make sure your old employer (if switching jobs) has your new address for tax purposes.
Get to Know the Brooklyn Area
Moving to Brooklyn will allow you to experience culture from all over. New York City is famously known as the Melting Pot. This allows people from all over to enjoy the various cultures in the city.
- Prior to relocating, research nearby restaurants and shopping centers to see what various amenities are in your neighborhood.
