When SELLING your home:
As soon as you have an official closing date and close of escrow is in motion, contact your local utility and service companies to schedule a termination of service date. In some cases, these companies may request the name of the new owner to add to their file. This way they are prepared when the new owner calls and can re-start service.
When BUYING your home:
As soon as you have an official closing date and close of escrow is in motion, schedule your move-in date if possible so you can avoid moving in without electricity, hot water or TV! Schedule activation of utilities and services so they’re up and running prior to your move-in date.
For your convenience, I have assembled a list of necessary contacts:
