Step 10 - Post-Closing
Congratulations
on the successful sale of your home!
Hopefully, everything
went smoothly and you will be vacating your house in the time frame that
you had anticipated. Your Realtor will help you create a checklist of all
the things you will need to do to turn the property over to the new owners.
You will need to make sure that all of the local services (i.e. electricity,
gas, lawn care, cable, etc.) have been cancelled or, if the new owner is
going to retain some of the services, the name for the account should be
changed. The property and anything assigned to the buyer according to the
contract should be prepared appropriately for the new owners. This will
make the transition as smooth and effortless as possible.
