Closing on a home in Utah is a huge milestone – congrats! But before you kick back and relax, here are a few steps to help make your move a breeze. Whether you’re buying in Salt Lake City or somewhere else, these tips can help you settle in smoothly:
Plan Renovations Early: Got any upgrades in mind? Plan them before closing! Get estimates from contractors during your final walkthrough so you can hit the ground running when you move in.
Set Up Utilities: No one wants to move into a dark, chilly house! Make sure your water, electricity, and gas are up and running before you arrive.
Change the Locks: Safety first! Changing the locks as soon as you take possession is a quick way to ensure you’re the only one with access to your new home.
Hire a Cleaning Crew: Even if the house is clean, a professional crew can give it that extra sparkle and make it feel truly yours.
Have a Handyperson on Standby: Moving can get overwhelming, so having a handyperson ready for those little tasks – like hanging pictures or fixing minor issues – can save you time and energy.
