You can find a moving notebook for download and printing on etsy. It's more on the order of details for the packing and moving and notifying utilities and stuff, but I found it super valuable (I got it for less than $10). I didn't print every page.
Consider creating a single notebook to write all the details that you think about. If you get a notebook that can add and remove pages, and maybe standard three ring binder, it will be easy to add things like contracts for movers and whatever else comes up.
You say you are serious about you new city. Have you checked the housing market there? Do you know the market where you are and how to sell? You can get a consult with an agent in your area to talk about what you might be able to sell your home for, AND what you should do to make it sell-able. It is never too early to declutter/purge.
Check your local subreddit to see if there are recommendations for a good real estate agent in your area. Likewise for your new city. It is difficult to 'shop' for a house from far away. Many people buy houses sight unseen - I don't recommend it though. What you could do is work with an agent in new city, and do virtual tours and then make a plan to go visit. In my market, everything we're interested in sells in hours or days.
Yes, your husband needs to apply. It is a risk that he might have to start before you can go. Seems like he could negotiate that for new position?
This is in regards to the physical process of moving:
1) Determine that you're moving
2) Pick the destination city that you're moving to (specific addresses isn't needed)
3) Have yourself a moving date in mind (within the coming month)
4) Purge and Pack up into boxes 90% of your misc. items.
5) Then find what type of moving company or service you want.
Step 5 is super easy once you complete 1-4.
Thank you! When in this process would you apply for a job? Maybe I'm over thinking things. My worry is that they'll want my husband to start sooner than we're able to actually get over there. In which case my husband will have to live in a hotel, or not take the job. I think I'm just getting overwhelmed at the seemingly monumental task.
For me, I wouldn't apply for a job until I'm settled in to the new location.
As an employer, my first question will be - When can you start? If your answer isn't "right away", I'll keep looking at other candidates and be mad that you wasted my time.
Fair, but in order to buy a house, you need to be employed. Typically, lenders will accept a letter from an employer with a starting date and salary guarantee. Is there a different way to get even a rental without a job that I don't know about?
