We want to talk about possession day. In the real estate world, we see it all, from immaculate, to barely cleaned out and garbage left behind. On possession date, ensuring a seamless transaction when leaving your home involves a checklist of important tasks.
First of all, leave the home clean. Hire this out if you don’t have time, but thoroughly cleaning your home including blinds, baseboards, and appliances doesn’t go unappreciated.
Other tasks such as sweeping the garage, mowing lawn, wedding gardens, shoveling sidewalks, blowing out sprinkler lines, changing furnace filters and topping up the salt in the water softener.
Remember to change your address through Canada Post to ensure your mail reaches you at your new location. Lastly, leaving keys, door codes, mailbox information, garage codes and information on maintenance is always greatly appreciated. These thoughtful steps will help ensure a smooth handover of your beloved home.
