10.POST-CLOSE ACTIVITY
Congratulations on the purchase of your new home! Now that
you have taken ownership of the property you will need to have your local
services such as electricity, cable, and phone set up. Your real estate agent
can help you coordinate the set-up of these local services. No doubt your
agent already knows who the local vendors are for such services as water and
electricity, as well as others, so he or she can help provide you with a list
of contacts.
Also, you should already be aware of the expenses that are typically associated
with owning a home. Neighborhood Association fees, landscaping costs, and
annual taxes should be budgeted for throughout the year.
