After closing on your mortgage, follow this checklist to prepare for moving into your new home. Change your address with the Post Office and update utilities. Review your inspection report for necessary repairs and create a maintenance schedule. Deep clean your new home, including less obvious areas. Change locks and reset security codes for safety. Review any home warranty received and consider purchasing one if not. Prepare emergency supplies and consider a fireproof safe for important documents. Lastly, file for a Homestead Exemption to save on property taxes.
