Musings of a Burbank CPA: Tips for Planning a Stress-Free Move to The Golden State

See this article written by Suzie Wilson of Happierhome.net about tips for moving to California: 

If you want to avoid problems and headaches when moving out-of-state, you need the right information. For a long-distance move to California, these tips and resources can provide what you need so you can savor—instead of stress over—your big move.

Plan Ahead of Time

 The process of relocating to a new state can be filled with small, easy-to-miss details. Therefore, planning ahead is critical.

  • Using a checklist keeps you on track.
  • Now is also a good time to search for long-distance movers.
  • Pet parents should find pet-friendly hotels.
  • You may want to hire someone to help keep your pet safe while moving and unpacking. 

Try to Take Care of Repairs Before You Start Moving

Most people wait until they’ve settled into a new house before they start working on improvements, but certain projects should be completed beforehand. 

Cover Essentials

 The first night in a new house can be hectic, but forgetting to switch on essential utilities can make things even more stressful. 

  • Setting up utilities can include services like power, water, gas, sanitation, and internet.
  • In Burbank, you can connect your power and water using the same website.
  • You’ll have more choices when it comes to choosing an internet service provider.
  • If you’re establishing a home office or moving for work, save your receipts.
  • Those receipts might be handy at tax time. Brian T. Stoner, CPA can provide you with knowledgeable and trustworthy assistance with your tax and accounting preparation.
  • Last but not least, it’s always a good idea to do a good deep cleaning before unpacking.  

Explore Your New State & City 

Feeling at home in an unfamiliar city can take some time, which is why newcomers to California should be patient as they settle in and take steps to reduce stress in the meantime. 

A new hometown can be tricky, but it doesn’t have to be stressful. The right tips and information will help you avoid headaches, so keep this guide handy as you transition to the Golden State.
