Unlocking the door to your new home is just the beginning! Dive into homeownership confidently with these 6 steps you should take immediately after closing ⤵️

🗝️ Securely Store Closing Documents: Store your important closing documents, such as the deed and mortgage agreement in a safe and secure place for future reference.

🗝️ Set Up Mail Forwarding: Initiate mail forwarding through your local post office or online, and update your address with relevant parties to ensure you receive all communications.

🗝️ Update Driver’s License: Make it official by updating your new address with the DMV

🗝️ Change the Locks: Prioritize safety by changing the locks on all exterior doors, as previous owners or agents might have copies of the old keys.

🗝️ Schedule a Deep Cleaning: Before settling in, either hire professionals or deep clean the property yourself, focusing on often-neglected areas for a fresh start in your new home.

🗝️ Start a Maintenance To-Do List: Begin a prioritized list of maintenance tasks to prevent minor issues from becoming major problems.

Granite gets a bad rap.

Many people say, "don't choose granite because it's porous". "It's high maintenance". "You have to seal it".

Granite does have to be sealed every 5-10 years, depending on how you treat it. But, once it's sealed, it's virtually unporous. The sealing process is also not that involved and you can do it yourself.

Worth noting: it's slightly less expensive than quartz.

And, if you're wanting a more natural stone look, you should rethink granite.

One of my clients didn't consider granite, based on its reputation, until their builder, who's had granite for 20+ years, talked about it. And then we looked at 4 different showrooms. They like the natural stone look and texture, and the fact that they can carry it over into the fireplace.

If you're building, it's worth looking into as an option.
