Preparing for Your Move

As you have moved beyond the inspection period and appraisal, you are getting closer to a “Clear to Close” from the lender and it’s time to start preparing for your move! 

You are not able to officially move in until after you and the sellers have signed all the required documents. And sometimes we won’t know an official closing date and time until a few days beforehand. This can lead to a lot of frustration, but you can certainly get a start on packing and finding out which utility companies service your new address. 

I utilize a service called Updater and will send you an invite before your anticipated move. Updater is a time-saving tool that helps you organize and complete many moving-related tasks.  Updater is completely free for you. You can use it to forward your mail, reserve a reputable moving company, set up your utilities, connect TV and internet, update your accounts and records, secure your insurance, send digital moving announcements, and more.

If you prefer a more DIY approach, I will send my moving checklist that you can use to help keep you organized.
