Your house is under contract and scheduled to close in a few weeks. What can
you do to make the transfer of ownership as easy as possible for you and your
buyers?
Keep in close contact with your Realtor so that you will know if there are any
changes in the closing schedule. On the day the property changes hands, your
house should be empty, clean and ready for the buyer. Contact all of the utility
companies to let them know that you are moving and give the service company the
buyer's name (the buyer must follow up with calls to confirm). Don't turn off
the gas or electricity because the buyers need to confirm that the appliances
are in working order. Let your insurance company know ahead of time that you are
selling the house and arrange for your coverage to be transferred to your new
home. The most important thing is to start the process well in advance in order
to avoid any last-minute complications.
