Congratulations on your decision to relocate to the vibrant and diverse Denver metro area! Denver is a great place to live, work, and raise a family. The city has a lot to offer, including beautiful scenery, a thriving economy, and a diverse culture.

We understand that planning a move can be overwhelming. To help you stay organized and make your transition as seamless as possible, we've compiled a comprehensive moving checklist tailored specifically for your Denver relocation.


Set a Timeline and Create a Budget

The first step in any move is to set a timeline and create a budget. This will help you stay on track and avoid any last-minute chaos.

When setting your timeline, be sure to factor in the following:

  • The amount of time it will take to pack your belongings

  • The amount of time it will take to find a new home

  • The amount of time it will take to move your belongings

Once you have an idea of how much time you have, you can start to create a budget. When budgeting for your move, be sure to include the following expenses:

  • Moving costs

  • Temporary housing

  • New home-related expenses (such as furniture, appliances, and home repairs)

Research Denver's Neighborhoods

Denver's metro area boasts a wide array of neighborhoods, each offering a unique living experience. Before you start packing, take some time to research the different neighborhoods in Denver to find one that's a good fit for you. Here are a few things to consider when researching neighborhoods:

  • Your lifestyle preferences (e.g., proximity to work, schools, parks, and entertainment options)

  • Your budget

  • Your desired amenities (e.g., public transportation, walkability, green space)


Secure Temporary Furnished Housing

If you're not sure where you want to live in Denver yet, or if you're just looking for a temporary place to stay while you search for your dream home, consider securing a temporary furnished space. This can be a great way to avoid the hassle of packing and unpacking multiple times, and it can also give you some time to explore different neighborhoods before you make a decision. Our company provides multiple options for you to choose from for your furnished space! Whether it’s a full home for you and the family, or just an apartment for you, we have beautiful, pet-friendly furnished rentals that you will love!


Declutter and Organize

Before you start packing, it's a good idea to declutter your belongings. This will help you reduce the amount of stuff you have to move, and it will also make the packing process go more smoothly. Here are a few tips for decluttering:

  • Get rid of anything you don't use or need.

  • Donate or sell usable items.

  • Discard items responsibly (e.g., recycle, donate to charity, or throw away).


Hire a Reputable Moving Company

If you're not comfortable moving your belongings yourself, you can hire a moving company. When hiring a moving company, be sure to get quotes from several companies and compare their services. You should also ask about the company's insurance coverage to protect your belongings during transit.


Transfer Utilities and Change Address

Once you have a move-in date, be sure to notify your utility providers of your move-out date. You should also update your address with the post office, banks, subscriptions, and important contacts.


Research Schools and Healthcare Providers

If you have children, be sure to research schools in your preferred neighborhood. You should also identify nearby healthcare providers and register with a local doctor and dentist.


Pack Essentials Separately

On the day of your move, pack a separate bag or box with essentials you'll need immediately upon arrival in Denver. This may include toiletries, clothing, important documents, chargers, and any other items required in the first few days.


Plan for Pets

If you have pets, make arrangements for their relocation. Be sure to research local veterinarians and pet-friendly parks in your chosen neighborhood.


Conduct a Final Walkthrough

Before departing your current home, perform a final walkthrough to ensure nothing has been left behind. Double-check closets, cabinets, and other storage spaces.
