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.
ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE GIVE ME A CALL.
Brandy is a 2-year-old German Shepherd mix with a serious love for belly rubs, fetch, and being your constant shadow. She’s sweet, affectionate, and always ready to flop over for tummy time! This big, bouncy girl handles beautifully and is incredibly people-oriented—so much so that being left alone makes her sad. She will not hesitate to vocalize when she feels lonely or may try to find an escape route to get to her people. Because of this, she’d thrive in a home where someone is around most of the time to shower her with attention and keep her company. Brandy is easily excitable and can be jumpy when making new friends with people, so she’s best suited to a home without kids. She knows “sit” and “drop it,” has a cute little auto-sit when she wants something, and will gently place her toys at your feet for fetch (which she LOVES and doesn’t destroy—bonus!). Brandy also insists on being the one and only furry royalty in your life. She doesn’t want to share her humans, her home, or her toys—so no other pets, please! She’s ready to rule her kingdom solo as the Queen Bee she knows she is. If you’ve got a secure yard, a good throwing arm, and room in your heart for a one-dog show, Brandy just might be your perfect match. Check out LAPS here for more adoptables .
