Moving to Colorado?

Question

We will be moving to the Denver, colorado area from Fort Worth, Texas soon for my husbands job and was wondering what the easiest and most economical way to do this was. His company is going to pay for the majority of it but we aren't sure how much they are going to cover. We have never moved out of state and are completely lost. I searched for a moving check list, but couldn't find one. I'm sure there are TONS of things I'm not going to think of doing ie; changing insurance agents, getting electricty, registering our cars, etc. We are under lease with our current apartments but the same leasing company has apartments in colorado so we are good on finding a place to live. Any feedback would be helpful.

When I moved I made up my own list and did everything myself. I'm a pretty organized person as it is, so nothing got left behind, but one of these lists would have bee helpful. Good luck to you!

P.S. I used to live in Colorado - you're gonna love it there!

Answer 2

Make sure you checkout the moving companies, some can be nightmares. Make your own check list if you can't find any. A real estate mag or local realtor should have one and can set you up with a reliable moving company. Make should they are bonded.
