In an ideal world, we would always have several months to prepare to move home, giving us plenty of time to make sure everything falls into place leading up to the move.

And we’re here to help you through it. At Brownstone Brothers Moving & Storage, we specialize in handling last-minute moves. Let us help you navigate the chaos and ensure a smooth transition to your new home.
Below are a list of tips we’ve compiled based on what we’ve observed to be the most helpful tasks to do and most beneficial things to keep in mind as you prepare for your short-notice move. Follow our advice and make verything goes smoothly. Trust us, it is possible!
Remember: Focus on the most important tasks first.
Keep a running list of everything that you need to do before, during and after the move. Some people like to keep this list on their phone. That way, when they remember something in the middle of the night, they simply need to pull out their phone. Using an app that allows you to search by keyword, like the Notes app on iPhone can be an added convenience, especially if you want to keep multiple lists.
Book your mover ASAP, especially if you’re moving between May and September— summer months tend to be the busiest for moving companies.
If possible, let the movers handle the packing. Not only will they bring their own packing materials, but a reputable company like Brownstone Brothers Moving & Storage will know how to protect your items from potential damage. Plus, it will free you up to focus on other crucial aspects of your move.
If you must do your own packing, remember to pack a “first night box” (see our blog for guidance), and to label your boxes clearly! Given the cirumstances, you may not have time to organize your belongings before packing them, so it is especially important that you know which room each box corresponds to, and what the contents are.
