    Your Move Is Finished. Now What?

    Congratulations — you’ve made it to your new home.

    The first day after a move can feel overwhelming, but a few simple priorities will help you settle in faster.

    Start Here

    • Verify utilities are working.
    • Check smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
    • Locate your water shutoff and breaker panel.
    • Assemble beds before anything else.
    • Unpack medications and important documents.
    • Connect internet service.
    • Walk through your home for any concerns.

    Don’t worry about making the house perfect on day one. Focus on making it functional.
