Planning tips for this checklist
Verify money movement carefully
Closing funds are high risk. Confirm wire instructions or cashier check rules directly with the verified title, escrow, or closing contact before sending money.
Use the final walkthrough as a condition check
The final walkthrough is not another showing. Check agreed repairs, included items, appliances, utilities, keys, remotes, access codes, cleanliness, and any new damage before signing.
Save the closing packet for the first year
Closing documents, inspection reports, repair receipts, warranties, insurance, title notes, and loan records often matter after move-in. Put them in one folder before the first week gets busy.
