Whenever possible, we send applicable property disclosures, water disclosures, square footage disclosures, and closing instructions ahead of time. Complete your portions promptly and honestly, based on what you actually know. Ask for guidance rather than guessing, and tell us if you discover a new issue or information changes. Preparing early helps us respond efficiently when an offer arrives.

Have the home fully cleaned and ready before the photographer arrives. Turn on lights, replace burned-out bulbs, open blinds as appropriate, make beds, clear countertops, and put away laundry, trash cans, pet supplies, and unnecessary clutter. Tidy the landscaping and move vehicles out of the driveway when practical.

Secure pets and keep occupants outside the areas being photographed. Allow at least 30 minutes of uninterrupted access for the 3D scan; larger homes and the full photography appointment may take longer. The camera captures views in every direction, so people moving through the home may appear in the tour. Follow the photographer's directions. Put away personal paperwork, medications, valuables, and anything you do not want visible in public photos or the tour.

Keep the home clean, orderly, and ready for scheduled visits. When practical, turn on lights, open blinds, tidy surfaces, and address noticeable odors.

Whenever possible, give buyers space to explore with their agent.

Contact providers ahead of time to coordinate the transfer with the buyer's start date. Avoid a disconnection that leaves the property without service, especially over weekends or holidays when restoration may take several days. If you move early, maintain an appropriate indoor temperature and check with our team before scheduling any shutoff.

Send invoices, receipts, and required supporting documentation as soon as each agreed repair is completed. Our requested deadline is at least three days before closing, or earlier if required by your contract or inspection agreement. Send completed items as they become available rather than waiting for every repair to be finished.

We can recommend contractors and service providers we trust. Arrange completion within your agreed deadlines. If work remains incomplete or scheduling becomes a concern, tell us immediately and provide the expected completion date so we can help address delays and share documentation with the buyer's agent.

Keep clear access to the attic, crawl space, electrical panel, furnace, water heater, and other systems the inspector needs to evaluate. Provide access to locked areas as arranged, secure pets, and keep utilities operating. Let us know ahead of time about any access limitations.

Tell us before photography and listing if you intend to keep a chandelier, appliance, mounted fixture, or another item buyers might expect to stay. We can discuss how to identify exclusions in the listing and written agreements. Once under contract, follow the agreed inclusions and exclusions and speak with us before removing or replacing anything.

Arrange regular property checks, continued utilities and appropriate heat, yard care, and seasonal snow removal. Leave access available for scheduled showings, inspections, repairs, and the final walkthrough. Give us a reliable contact and tell us promptly if a maintenance or access issue develops.

Plan your move around the possession date and time in your contract, which may differ from closing. Our expectation is a home that is broom-swept, vacuumed, and free of trash and belongings not included in the sale, consistent with your agreement.

Remove unwanted furniture and items from garages, storage areas, and outdoor spaces. Arrange moving, cleaning, and hauling in advance. We help coordinate the final steps; removing your belongings and unwanted items remains your responsibility.

Gather all house and extra keys, mailbox keys, garage remotes, and community access devices included with the sale. Label keys and write down the mailbox location or number, applicable access codes, and helpful operating instructions.

Coordinate with our team to leave these securely inside the home or bring them to the title company for the agreed handoff. Keep necessary access available for the final walkthrough. Share property access information securely; do not leave personal account passwords.
