After the Sale: The Next Steps and What You’ll Need to Do Before You Move Out

After the Sale: The Next Steps and What You'll Need to Do Before You Move OutGetting an offer on your home can certainly make it feel like the hard part is over, but even after the deal is sealed there’s still a lot to do when it comes to moving out. Whether you’re getting prepared for a future move or your buyer has just signed on the dotted line, here are the first steps to take once it’s certain your property is off the market.

Start The Packing

For many people, packing is something they would rather put off until the last minute, but boxing up your stuff is actually a great opportunity for a little spring-cleaning at any time of the year. Instead of procrastinating, get started early and ensure that you’re only packing up the items you will make use of. Whether you decide to pass the extras off to friends or donate them, this is a great way to make your next home clutter free.

Book The Moving Trucks

The day you have to be out of your home by will be set in stone, so it’s important to get ahead of this process and contact the movers as soon as you can. Moving companies have busier times of year and by booking in advance, you won’t have to comply with their loaded schedule. While you’ll want to make a reservation if you’re working under a time crunch, it still might be worth shopping around to see if you can find a better deal.

Complete The Last Minute Fix-Ups

In all likelihood, there’s a list of minor tasks the homebuyer will want you to complete prior to move-in. It’s important to prioritize these things so they’re not left until the last minute, so ensure you make a list and pick a day or a certain window of time to complete them. Whether you’ve agreed to paint a room or get the windows re-sealed, not making these fixes can end up costing you money so it will be worth the time you spend.

It’s a wonderful feeling to get your home off the market at the purchase price you were looking for, but there are still things that need to be done before the deal is sealed. By making a list of any outstanding maintenance and booking the moving trucks, you’ll be well on your way to your new home. Give me a call for more information – J.P. Cook – 602-320-4253.
