Love Selling Your Home – Week 9: Welcome back to the Love Selling Your Home series! This week, we’re diving into the nitty-gritty of pre-closing tasks. Selling your home can feel like a whirlwind—exciting, nerve-wracking, and filled with endless to-dos. Let’s make sure you’re prepared for the final sprint to closing day.
What to Expect
In these pre-closing days, it’s easy to get caught up in the chaos of moving and saying goodbye to your beloved Northern Colorado home. But don’t let the logistics distract you from the important tasks at hand. The key is staying organized and focused.
Home Inspection Repairs
Remember that home inspection you had done? If there were any repairs you agreed to handle, now’s the time to get those squared away. Think of it as giving your home a final spa day before handing it over. Need a reliable contractor? I’ve got a list of local pros who can tackle any job. Just let me know, and I’ll coordinate everything for you.
Preparing Your Home
It’s the little things that count in your pre-closing checklist! Disconnect utilities by closing day, notify your insurance company, and forward your mail. Don’t forget to gather all those appliance manuals, warranties, and repair records. The new homeowners will appreciate the thoughtful gesture, and you’ll feel like the organized rockstar you are.
The Key to Success
Like, literal keys… Collect and label all keys, garage clickers, and house codes. There’s nothing worse than scrambling to find a spare key on moving day.
Time for a Clean Sweep
Make sure your home is in “broom-swept” condition before the final walk-through. Think of it as leaving a good impression on a first date—you want everything to look pristine.
Turn Off the Tech
Remember to shut off any smart home devices like Ring Doorbells or alarm systems. You don’t want the new owners getting alerts every time a squirrel scurries by.
Closing Day Prep
Touch base with your mortgage company to update your mailing address and bring a voided check for the account where you want your sale proceeds deposited. I’ll review your settlement statement with you a few days before closing to ensure everything looks good.
