Close to Closing — Don’t Forget

You’re almost there! These are your final to-dos before closing to keep things smooth, on schedule, and stress-free. From utilities and forwarding mail to a final walkthrough, this checklist keeps everything tied up neatly before you hand over the keys.

Last 48 Hours Before Closing

Seller — Final To-Dos

  • Utilities: Leave power & gas ON for ~2 days after closing in case of timing delays. The buyer’s transfer should cover the switch-over.
  • Set forwarding: USPS Change of Address — start here.
  • Final sweep: Remove personal items, empty bins, and take meter photos for your records.

Buyer — Final To-Dos

  • Utilities: Call or submit online to start/transfer 2 days before closing so there’s no gap in service:
  • Internet: Check providers by address: BroadbandNow or HighSpeedInternet.
  • Set up autopay: Add power/gas and any new utilities to your bill-pay or an all-in-one service like doxo.

Update Your Address (IDs & Records)

Tip: After you update your driver record, you can purchase a duplicate card later if you want your new address printed on the physical license.
