One small detail that can turn move-in day into a big headache?
👉 Utilities.
Many buyers assume electricity, water, gas, and internet automatically switch into their name once they close.
But in most cases… they don’t.
That means if utilities aren’t set up ahead of time, buyers could be dealing with:
• No power on move-in day
• Unexpected connection fees
• Delays getting internet set up
A quick call or online setup before closing can make all the difference.
✨ Pro Tip: Buyers should schedule utility transfers about a week before closing to ensure everything is ready for move-in day.
