After You Sell

We at DavidRealty.com want your move to be as smooth as silk. We recommend you follow these guidelines to make your move easier:

As Soon As Your Home Goes Under Contract

Select a moving company and arrange for pickup of your furniture and personal belongings or rent a moving truck yourself.
Get all moving supplies together-tape, boxes, rope, moving pads, etc.
Lay out your travel route to your new home.
Schedule your packing so that the last things that you pack are the items you use most.
Get a change of address from the Post Office and have it ready to submit.
Notify businesses, friends and family of your move.
Notify any federal, state, local authority or agency, if needed.
Some expenses are tax deductible, so, keep records/receipts of all moving expenses, including meals, gasoline and lodging.

Two Weeks Before You Move

Notify utility companies like, gas, electric, cable TV, water and phone of your move, and arrange for service at your new home.
If moving out of town, have your car serviced.
Arrange for moving assistance with your friends, relatives and neighbors.
Arrange for someone to take care of your pets during the move.
Confirm moving company or truck rental arrangements.
If you have an old vehicle that may not be worth moving, consider a charity car donation.
Leave operating instructions for hot tubs or any appliances.
If moving to a rental, purchase a tenants policy for contents/liability only.
Transfer your money from local accounts to your new location.
Leave self-addressed post cards for the new owners to notify you of news or questions.

The Day Before Moving

Keep moving supplies and materials separate so they don't get packed until you're finished.
If you're moving yourself, pick up the rental truck.
Fill up the car with gas, and oil, and check all fluid levels and tires.
Tomorrow's a big day, so get a good night's rest.
Cancel your home owner insurance effective closing day.
Leave the garage door openers with new owners.
Cancel your high speed internet, satellite TV receiver and phone services.
If you have money savings at home, remember to take it with you.

These proven guidelines will produce goodwill for the new home owners and their investment.
