Great tips! Here is a list for quick reference: 1 verify utilities are transfered into your name 2 re-key all the locks 3 plan for cleaning before move-in 4 paint while the house is empty 5 file change of address with post office 6 gather and file HOA info into a home owners journal 7 file closing documents 8 file home inspection report into your home owners journal and create a repair plan 9 install window coverings 10 take care of your yard 11 wait 6-12 months before renovations 12 keep track of large home expenditures (put receipts in your home owners journal)

I am closing in about 3 weeks on my first home. could you do a video for my stage... inspection is supposed to happen tomorrow. Appraisal should happen soon. i won the house because of my clause to pay 1000 more than asking so i got it a little over asking price. zillow is saying it will appraise for slightly under what I am paying.

YES to the deep clean. If you can swing it, hire a cleaning company to do it. Save yourself the time and work on the remainder of your checklist while a team cleans your house. They can get it done faster and more thoroughly than you, guaranteed.

Wait to renovate but paint AND flooring asap before furniture. We had our things in storage for 3 months before moving into our house because we had to wait until all of the floors were done. We had to wait a while for order to arrive and then we had to wait for a carpet and flooring contractor to schedule installation.

Great question YVESISLIVE! In short, at some point, you're likely to sell your home (life changes after all) and you'll find having those receipts very helpful if push comes to shove during the home inspection or any required sellers disclosures in your area. Not too mention, if you improve your home, it'd be great to have those receipts on hand for an appraiser in case the valuation comes back less than expected. Hope that helps!

God loves you so much that He sent His Holy Son Jesus from heaven to earth, to be born of a virgin, to grow up and die on a cross for our sins, and to be put into a tomb 3 days and rise from the dead the third day, and He (Jesus) went back up to heaven. We must receive Sinless Jesus sincerely to be God's child(John 1:12).After we get saved by grace through faith in Christ, if we truly love the Lord Jesus Christ, then we will obey Jesus(John 14:15). Mark 1:15 "And saying, the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: Repent ye, and believe the gospel." Jesus said in John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. "There's a real hell. It says in Revelation 21:8 "But for the cowardly, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone..." Please sincerely receive Holy Jesus and put your true faith and trust in Him today and *please repent.*
