Step 16: Get Ready for Your Move

 

 

Once inspection, appraisal, and the major loan milestones are complete, you’re officially entering the final stretch of your home-buying journey. This stage is all about preparing for move-in and getting everything organized so closing—and the days that follow—feel smooth and stress-free. Think of this as your “green light” to begin planning with confidence.

Start Preparing for Your Move

At this point, you can begin putting practical pieces in place:

Movers:
You can now contact and schedule your movers or moving service. If you’d like help, Lee Ann & Betzy can coordinate this for you through our concierge program—we work with trusted, vetted providers who offer everything from full-service packing to simple transport.

Utilities:
It’s time to set up utilities to begin on your possession date. This usually includes electricity, gas, water, internet, trash, and any HOA-related services. We’ll provide guidance on dates and timing so everything is activated exactly when you need it.

Vendors & Home Projects:
If you plan to complete non-inspection work—such as painting, flooring, cleaning, hardware updates, or other improvements—now is the ideal time to schedule those professionals.
Our Concierge Service can help:

  • Recommend vetted contractors
  • Reach out to them for availability
  • Gather quotes
  • Coordinate schedules around your closing and move-in timeline
