Let's face it, moving, no matter if it is across town or across the country, will always be an involving process. Normally when people move across the country, it is job related. Sometimes it is for a promotion and of course all the added responsibility or for the acceptance of a new job which in itself could be a promotion.
Once it's determined that you'll be relocating, you will need to start seriously looking for a new place. This process should be underway well before the date you need to move. Moving into an apartment, at least temporarily, is often a good idea when making a long-distance move. If you intend to purchase a house later on, you'll already have gained some familiarity with the new area, and can better search for a home without the pressure of a time constraint. Contacting a realtor to help you find a good place in the new area is a good idea.
Contacting a realtor has multiple benefits. First and foremost, they help you find the right apartment or house, but they can also provide a lot of useful information about the new place you will be calling home. They can tell where the schools are, what entertainment areas are nearby and where the closest medical facilities are located. Ideally, you'd want to find a place that's within reasonable distance to all of these areas and your source of employment, since that will cut down on gas usage and driving time.
In many cases people who are about to make that big transition will take a trip to the new location to get a feel for the area. When you have returned, the only thing to do now is start packing. It never fails to amaze people at how much stuff we all seem to accumulate. Much of the things you have will end up in a yard sale, given away or thrown away.
A word of caution, when moving it is always so easy to misplace items, but the one thing you do not want to misplace is your important documents like birth certificates and other forms of personal identification. It is also a good idea to keep some old utility bills with you to show the new utilities proof of your payment standing with your former utilities. Hopefully this way you will be able to have your utilities turned on with little trouble. In some cases it is mandatory to have your utility bills in order to have your utilities turned on.
Moving your household items is a simple matter of hiring a moving company. They can also move big ticket items like pianos and cars.
Finally, after all is said and done, and you are on your way to a new part of the country and a new position whether in your same job or a completely new job, you realize that how you handle all these things will determine the outcome. Let it be an exciting event.
