Decide whether to hire movers or do-it-yourself
If moving far, arrange for shipping your car or decide to drive
If you require storage, find a storage location near your new home
Get quotes from multiple movers or find out who can help your do-it-yourself move
If getting quotes from multiple movers make sure you compare apples to apples, do they include packing/unpacking, do they include storage, what weight estimate are they assuming, what incremental costs are there?)
