Prepare for Moving:
Once we have a firm deal we will send all relevant paperwork to your lawyer/notary and put them in touch with the Sellers lawyer. In the meantime, you will need to arrange the following. We can assist with recommending names of service providers.
Line up movers and any storage required in between moves.
Arrange insurance for your new property according to the adjustment dates
Arrange for new telephone, cable, internet and utility services such as gas and electric for the new home
Arrange for landscaping, house cleaning, and pest control for new home
Arrange for alarm system to be switched to new location, if necessary
Is your propane tank, geothermal system leased? Notify the company if the new purchaser(s) will take over the lease. Same for your new home.
When moving out of town, ask a friend or relative to receive your mail for a 3 month period and set up with Canada Post booking in movers.
We are ready to assist you should an unforeseen glitch pop up, even at this last stage. Something at the property breaks down, or some other minor detail – no need to worry. We have encountered these problems before so we know how to handle them efficiently and in a stress-free manner.
