Effortless Moving Journey at The Waverly in Burleson

 Transfer Utilities

Make a day out of transferring your important services, such as electric, cable, and WiFi At Waverly Apartments in Burleson. You’ll save yourself late fees and future stress by setting a date and getting it done because sitting in an apartment without WiFi sounds like a modern day horror movie.

Schedule Movers, or at Least a Truck

You need guaranteed transportation no matter what. Whether you decide to carry all of the boxes and furniture yourself or hire movers, book a truck with enough space to load up your belongings. Even if you own an SUV or a pickup, you will still need assistance with larger items. If you can swing it, hiring movers from the start will save you a lot of headache and muscle pain.     

Plan for Your Pets

Moving out is stressful enough, you don’t want to worry about pets adding to the chaos. Plus, pets can become especially anxious and nervous during a move. So, consider leaving them with a friend or at doggy daycare during the move to save your critters from the stress.

Finish Packing

In the weeks and days before moving out, pack each room, focusing on least used to most used items, saving your absolute essentials for a suitcase the day of. Do NOT wait until the week of your move to start, or your transition will become anything but smooth, but DO increase the amount you pack each day as the days progress.

Measure Your New Apartment

Bring a tape measure with you and measure before you unpack. This way you’ll know where everything fits and can unpack accordingly. Each apartment’s floor plan varies, and moving things once they’re unpacked is not as easy as it sounds.

Pro tip: Measuring your place is especially important when buying furniture. Our favorite trick is to measure and tape the dimensions of the couch/desk/table on the floor to see if it will look too big or fit just right.

Host a Move-in Party

Moving with only two hands is hard work. Buy some beer and wine, pair it with some snacks, and invite your friends over. It’s a great way to catch up, while also getting help with particularly heavy items. When you’re done, unpack the party games and have a little move-in party.
