Things To Be Aware of and Review

• Taking Physical Possession of your new home: As a general rule, possession takes place on the date of deed recording. Recording usually takes place the next business day after closing. In some cases it may take up to a week for possession, but seldom longer.
• Utility Connections: We will help you to identify the various utilities servicing your area. In order to avoid having to make deposits for new service, you will need to obtain a letter of credit from your previous utility company(s).
• Which Appliances Stay and Which Do not: Refrigerators and washer and dryers are generally not included in the sale of a home. If you need guidance in the purchase of appliances, we will be happy to assist you.
• Animal Licensing: Almost all city ordinances require that dogs wear a collar and leash outside the dwelling of the owner.

  In order to license your animal, you will need a verification from a veterinarian that your animal has been vaccinated for rabies. The number of pets allowed per home varies depending on the various city ordinances. Some cities also require licensing of cats. If you have pets, let us know and we will provide you with the needed information.

• Vehicle, Voter Registration and Drivers License Information: We have devoted several pages in this book to provide you with the where, when and hows of each.
• What about Insurance: You will probably want to have several companies provide you with bids. Make sure you check out all the discounts allowed. Some companies give the following discounts; multiple car, good driver, nonsmoker and good student. Home insurance discounts are for: fire alarms, security systems, etc.
• Mail Transfer and Keys: Many times mail transfer can be a rather complex issue. New subdivisions may have what are called 'Cluster Boxes'. You want to make sure you know where your box is. Keys are not transferable so there may be a delay in having your mail box re-keyed. We can help relieve your stress here.
• Trash and Recycling: Trash collection is separate from recycling. Each service has its own fee. In many cases the fees are paid through the Home Owners Association, but some are paid directly. If you let us know, we will check this out for you, along with the pick up schedule. NOTE: You may want to ask your moving company about taking your corrugated boxes, many will, as long as they are flat. If not, you will need to make arrangements with a disposal company for their removal.
• Examining Shipped Goods: Remember when examining shipped goods most movers have a time limit to examine the contents and file claims.
• Banking Connections: If you tell us what kind of a bank you are looking for and what your parameters are we will be more than happy to provide you with some recommendations.
