If you’ve got an upcoming move to One 51 Place planned, you have undoubtedly discovered that moving, even to a wonderful community such as ours, brings with it a bit of stress. There’s much to organize and coordinate and a long list of things to do before you can relax in your new apartment. With so much on your plate, it’s understandable that things can possibly fall through the cracks, potentially leading to more grief and stress down the road. However, if you educate yourself on the common mistakes people often make when moving, you can take care to avoid them and make your move as seamless as possible.

Here are some common mistakes to avoid during your move to One 51 Place:

1. Spending a small fortune on packaging – Boxes and newspaper can often be found free of charge if you spend a little time scrounging. See what you are able to find before you purchase new boxes from a store.
2. Forgetting to label your boxes – Be sure to clearly indicate which room in your apartment each box should go in to make unpacking easier.
3. Forgetting to change your address – Make sure you update your address with the post office as well as your credit card companies, utility companies, and subscriptions before you move to avoid losing any important pieces of mail.
4. Not researching your moving company – If you are hiring a moving company, be sure to do your research to ensure you are choosing a reputable company that will handle your property carefully.

While this is just the beginning of things to consider before your move to One 51 Place, avoiding these common moving mistakes can help to ensure your move goes as seamlessly as possible.
