The buyer's final walkthrough confirms your home's condition matches the agreement — here's everything to handle between a firm sale and handing over the keys.
As soon as the sale is firm
Send the agreement to your lawyer, request a mortgage discharge statement, and book movers early — especially for a month-end closing.
Three to four weeks out
Complete every repair you agreed to, start your change of address list, and arrange utility final readings for the closing date.
The final week
Gather every key and remote, confirm exactly which chattels stay, and arrange a post-move cleaning if you're not doing it yourself.
Moving day
Leave the home broom-clean, read and photograph the utility meters, and deliver all keys to your lawyer's office.
Any repairs you agreed to are actually done, and the home's overall condition is as represented when the offer was accepted.
Anything not included in the sale — and only the agreed chattels remain, in working order.
No garbage, debris, or leftover belongings in any closet, cupboard, crawl space, shed, or garage rafter.
Every key, fob, and garage remote gathered, plus appliance manuals and warranties, ready to hand to your lawyer.
From firm sale to handing over the keys, week by week.
Everything to handle from a firm sale through moving day and after closing.
