GIVE YOURSELF A PAT ON THE BACK. YOUR OFFER HAS BEEN ACCEPTED AND
YOUR HOME WILL BE CLOSING SOON. NOW WHAT?
HERE ARE 5 SMART TIPS TO HELP YOU PLAN AHEAD & HAVE A SMOOTH MOVE:
- Find a safe spot for any home-related bills as well as your current mortgage documents.
It’s a good idea to also keep proof of your down-payment.
- Once you move in there will also be on-going costs such as property tax or condo fees,
utility set-up fees and home and fire insurance.
- Life is full of surprises - check out the advantages of a life insurance policy.
- As there will be some costs associated with closing, be sure to put money aside to
cover things like home loan insurance, land transfer tax, and legal fees.
- Remember your mortgage qualification was based on your income, so if you’re
planning a career switch or going on maternity/paternity leave, let your agent know.
