Things To Remember When Purchasing A New Home
For home buyers, it’s the little things that matter…
When purchasing a home, much attention is placed on activities such as securing a loan and identifying and addressing required home repairs and signing contracts. And rightfully so, as these are not only required, they are vitally important.
However, it’s the little things that buyers sometimes do not think about that can become, at best, annoyances and major problems at worse.
Just as you are getting acquainted with your new neighborhood, if there is a pet in your family, so are they. For our pets, and for many of us, for that matter, change can be hard. Our pets they can become disoriented and easily confused in their new surroundings. Having a collar created with their new address, be that written or programmed, before they move rather than after they are lost, can save a great deal of heartache for you and your furry child.
How about those household essentials that we take for granted until we move or buy our first house and just do not think of them until we need them but do not have them. External to the house, that would be trash cans and watering hoses. Inside the home that could be items that were affixed to the home and therefore a part of the home, including TV mounts, built in microwaves and bathroom mirrors.
While we have hopefully thought about transferring our utilities such as power and water, we often forget other service providers that are just as important. If you have a security system, we encourage you to contact your security company as soon as your move is official. That way, you can kickstart the conversation to begin planning your new home's potential security options. Make sure to give at least 30 days notice so that last-minute planning doesn't lead to any lapses in your home security. The same applies for your internet service as well.
And what about that Nest thermostat if you have one? If you are moving to a new home and leaving a Nest product behind for the new homeowners, you can simply remove the product from the Nest app and reset it to factory defaults. The new homeowners will be able to add the product to the Nest app on their own phones if this is what they want.
And what about setting up a Nest in the new home? Since you're moving to a new home with a different HVAC system, the first step is to make sure the HVAC wiring at your new home will work with Nest Thermostats and if so, which version.
So it’s the little things that help us stay cool, stay connected and stay safe.
