What happens after I close on the home?
Q: How does the closing happen? Can you help me?
A: The closing happens once everyone has signed, the monies have cleared the bank, and the deed has been recorded in the name of your choosing. You will be notified when this has happened so you know the home is now yours.
Q: Is there anyone that could watch my home for me while I’m gone?
A: Yes! And we are happy to refer you to a few so you can pick and choose whomever you feel most comfortable with. Just send us an email or call and we can get you those referrals right away.
Q: Can you help me find a handyman or someone to help with some repairs or upgrades?
A: We would be happy to refer you to some companies that we are familiar with. It is always best to use someone who is licensed and insured. This may mean you pay a bit more than you would for “Bob” down the street who does carpentry, BUT it will ensure you have the best kind of protection for your investment.
Also some of the communities keep an ongoing list that the residents have used and like so you can check with your community or request our list through email or a quick phone call.
Q: Will you be able help me after the sale if I have questions?
A: OF COURSE! Hopefully this is a relationship that lasts longer than the purchase of your new home. We are always here to help in any way we can. And please feel free to refer your friends and family if they have questions too!
Q: Do you have any suggestions on how to move?
A: Our team has been highly trained in cross country moves. We would be happy to share the many options available with you. One of the best ways we have seen is using the P.O.D.S service. They deliver 1, 2, 3 or more P.O.D.S to your home, you can hire local professionals to load them for you, and then the P.O.D.S shipping department picks up your P.O.D. and delivers it to your new home within just a few days. Other options include large moving truck companies that move the items for you OR you can always rent a truck and have local professional movers fill it for you, you can drive it to your new home and we can help you find local professional movers in our area to help unload it.
We supply our clients with a moving checklist that gives them a good start on what needs to be done. Please let us know if you would like a copy.
