Once you have bought your home, your Royal LePage real estate professional can help make the move easier for you. Follow this handy checklist.

• Have the oil tank read and filled before your sale closes, and provide a receipt to your Legal professional if required.
• If the water heater or furnace is rented, arrange for a transfer of the rental agreement to the purchaser.
• Disconnect your telephone, cable TV, and water softener.
3 If you rent you’re Present Home:
• Give the necessary written notice to your landlord and make arrangements for the return of any money you have on deposit
4 At Your “New” Home:
• Make arrangements for the gas and electric utilities, water softener, telephone, and cable TV to be connected on the day the sale closes.
5 General:
• Get “Change of Address” cards from the post office and send out well before moving day.
• Have the post office forward your mail to your new address.
• Cancel any contracted services and pre-authorized cheques.
• Inform gardening, dry-cleaning, garbage pickup, newspapers, magazines, and other home services. Arrange for services at your new address.
