Your Closing Day Checklist: What to Do Before You Settle In

Your Closing Day Checklist: What to Do Before You Settle In

Closing Day marks the official start of a brand new chapter — and it's one of the most exciting milestones in your homeownership journey. After all the paperwork, the decisions, and the anticipation, you're finally holding the keys to your new home.

But before you unpack a single box or pop the champagne, there’s one last step to help ensure everything is exactly as it should be: a final walkthrough.

We know how easy it is to miss a detail in all the excitement, which is why we've created a simple Closing Day Guide to help you feel confident and in control.

Here are the essentials to check before you settle in:

✅ Appliances & HVAC

Confirm that your major appliances, heating, and air conditioning systems are fully functional and in good condition.

✅ Water Systems & Fixtures

Run the taps, flush the toilets, and check for leaks to make sure everything is running smoothly.

✅ Lights, Outlets & Remotes

Test all light switches, power outlets, and remote-controlled systems to ensure they're working properly.

✅ Garage Doors & Smart Devices

Open and close the garage doors, check any installed smart home systems, and make sure you’ve got the right access codes or instructions.

Think of this as your final walkthrough companion — a practical tool designed to give you peace of mind as you transition into your new space.
