Moving Day Prep Guide: A Fun, Friendly Checklist for First-Time Buyers!

by Keven Card

So, You Bought a House! 🎉

First off—huge congrats! 🎈You’ve bought your first home. You adulted hard, and we are so proud. But now… moving day is creeping up faster than your Amazon Prime orders. Yikes!

Let’s make sure you’re actually ready. Because trust me—nothing kills that new-home buzz faster than packing socks at 3 a.m. or realizing your dog’s bed is still at the old place. 😬

🧠 The Smart Stuff: Prep Like a Pro

Here’s a simple step-by-step that even your cousin Larry (who still uses AOL) can follow:

1. Start Packing Early. Like, Yesterday.

Don’t wait. Pack by room and slap labels on everything like you’re hosting a yard sale.

2. Declutter Before You Box Up That 2007 iPod

If you haven’t used it in the past 12 months, donate it. Or gift it to cousin Larry. He probably still uses iTunes.

3. Essentials Box = Sanity Saver

Pack a "first night" box. Toiletries, clean clothes, snacks, TP, chargers… anything you don’t want to dig through 47 boxes for.

4. Call Your Utility Friends

Power, water, internet—make sure they know when to start at the new place and stop at the old one. No one wants a cold shower on move-in day.

5. Get Help—Real Help.

Book movers. Or bribe friends with pizza and playlists. Either way, don’t go solo unless you own a forklift.


🤖 Why Your Agent Matters… Especially Now

This whole process—from finding the right house to timing your move—is smoother when you’ve got the right expert on your side.

That’s where I come in: I specialize in helping first-time buyers, veterans, and folks who want someone who actually gets the stress and chaos of buying your first home.

As an A.I. Certified Agent, I use smart tools (not just a cute smile and a clipboard) to:

  • Nail the right timing for closing and moving

  • Help you price the process right from the jump

  • Track the market so you don’t overpay

  • Simplify the whole dang journey with AI-driven updates and insights

So yeah—you could go with a traditional agent… or you could team up with someone trained by the Krem Institute of Artificial Intelligence, featured on Forbes and Fox, who knows exactly how to guide you and use data to your advantage.
