This review is from: The Moving Survival Guide: All You Need to Know to Make Your Move Go Smoothly (Paperback)
I'm planning a move across the country due to a corporate relocation, and was looking for a resource to help me plan and execute the move with minimal problems. This book did the trick for me.It's organized into chapters dealing with emotional issues, preparing for the move, selling and buying a house, packing, and starting a new life at you new location. The author also gives you blank calendars to keep track of dates, a moving timeline, and tons of worksheets that made a list maker like myself very happy, along with blank pages for taking notes. The moving checklists cover everything from changing addresses to moving medical records. The worksheets help you to keep track of moving expenses and phone numbers or contact info from cellular, utility, and insurance companies, schools, doctors, and other service providers. The book only touches upon the emotional issues, so if you are moving with kids (as I was) I would recommend buying a separate book if you're looking for more information on that issue.

This review is from: The Moving Survival Guide: All You Need to Know to Make Your Move Go Smoothly (Paperback)
This book is very thorough, though geared towards those who are selling/buying property more so than renters. Also, there's a lot of info about moving kids (which I skipped because I'm childless by choice). But I found the author to be soothing, it's clear she's been through this many times. She's super-fastidious but that's an asset for someone who's stressed about an upcoming move.

After a previously bad moving experience I wanted to make sure that i got everything right this time around. This book was a huge help, I especially liked all of the lists and organizational aids that were included in it.
