Mail change-of-address cards to the post office, subscriptions, credit card companies and important contacts. Online service is available at www.usps.gov. Arrange for a final utility reading at your former residence the day after your move AND have the utilities and phone turned on at your new home the day before you move in. Terminate newspaper delivery service. Arrange the transfer of vehicle licenses and driver licenses. We will schedule a final walk-through of the property to make sure everything is in order. Keep financial records and personal papers with you, do not pack them. On closing day, once the home purchase documents are completed and the seller is in receipt of funding - the keys will be yours!
