  • Insurance - choose your homeowners insurance provider and provide the relevant information to your lender and closing company.
  • Utilities - schedule all of your utilities to be transferred or turned on before closing.
  • Schedule Closing - schedule your closing early on to make sure the closing agent has a convenient time slot open.
