Moving from Georgia to Florida?

1. Plan ahead: Start planning your move as soon as possible to ensure that everything goes smoothly. Create a detailed moving checklist, and make a timeline for completing each task.

2. Hire a reputable moving company: Look for a moving company with experience in long-distance moves and a good reputation. Get quotes from several companies, and read online reviews before making a decision.

3. Pack carefully: Label each box clearly with the contents and the room it belongs in. Use bubble wrap, packing paper, and other protective materials to prevent damage to fragile items.

4. Check the weather: Be aware of the weather conditions in both Georgia and Florida, and plan your move accordingly. Extreme heat and humidity can affect your belongings, so take extra precautions to protect them.

5. Update your address and utilities: Notify your utility companies, bank, and other important contacts of your new address. Arrange for your utilities to be turned off in Georgia and turned on in Florida.

6. Be aware of Florida regulations: Florida has different regulations than Georgia when it comes to driver's licenses, car registrations, and insurance. Make sure you are aware of these regulations and plan accordingly.

7. Consider storage options: If you are downsizing or have items that you won't need right away, consider renting a storage unit in Florida until you are settled in.

8. Pack a "survival kit": Pack a box of essentials, including toiletries, a change of clothes, and any important documents or medications, to keep with you during the move.

9. Stay hydrated: Florida's hot and humid climate can be tough to adjust to, so make sure you stay hydrated during the move.

10. Take time to explore: Once you've settled into your new home in Florida, take time to explore your new surroundings and get to know the area. There's so much to see and do in the Sunshine State! 

11. Schedule a coffee with your local realtors, Drs. Kam and Carla Ashabranner!
