Closing Remarks with Phil Stevenson
Hi All,
Wanted everyone to know that this has been a banner year for TCCG Real Estate, especially over the past several months, when we have had fifteen closings, most recently three closings on three consecutive days. With the memory of these most recent closings fresh in our minds, we wanted to share a few reminders to prospective buyers as closing day approaches:
- Be sure all utilities (electricity, propane, water and sewer) and service providers (trash removal, snow removal, and so on) have been notified of your closing date and transferred to your name. As part of our caretaking services, The Clear Creek Group can pay all your bills and interface with the utilities and service providers.
- Check out the different options you have for TV, internet, and land lines, and make your selections a week or two in advance of closing. Many of these service providers have a fairly long lead time for service calls, and you will want them at your new home the day you close.
- Make sure your property and liability insurance are in place.
- Arrange for a security service. Depending on what service the seller has, and what service you would require, the security firm might need to do some work around your new home.
- Make arrangements to get keys and clickers at closing.
- If some furniture or other personal property items are included in the sale, check a day or two before closing to make sure everything is still in the property.
- Check to make sure nothing adverse has happened to the property since your initial inspection, including working appliances.
- Make arrangements to have the locks on the house changed the day of closing.
An imposing list, to be sure, but the good news is that at TCCG Real Estate, we handle all of the above and more, with an objective of making your closing and the transition to your new home ownership as pleasant and seamless as possible.
Whether you’re considering selling or buying in Jackson Hole, we’d love to talk with you about your real estate needs. Just call me at (307) 690-3503 or e-mail at phils@tccgjh.com, and one of our team members will get right back to you.
