Congratulations! You\u2019ve closed on your new Simplicity home\nand now have the keys in your hand. Your homebuying journey has ended, but now\nyou\u2019re about to embark on a new one: homeownership! There\u2019s still plenty to do\nto make your new house feel more like home. Use these tips and suggestions to help\nyour entire family feel at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There\u2019s a bit more paperwork left to do post-closing. Now\nit\u2019s time to fill out a change-of-address form with your local post office and\nnotify the local DMV, your bank, and insurance providers of your new address.\nYou\u2019ll also need to transfer necessary utilities and services to your new\naddress. Most providers let you handle this task online. Don\u2019t forget to fill\nout warranty cards online or mail them in to activate your new appliance\nwarranties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Save all the paperwork for your new home, including\ncontracts, receipts, and home warranty documents. Keep all this information in\na single place or stored on the USB drive Simplicity supplied at your new home\norientation, so you don\u2019t have to hunt through your home if an issue arises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You don\u2019t have to unpack everything in a day (or even\nweekend). Before your move begins, prioritize which rooms will be unpacked\nfirst. Start with the bedrooms, especially if you have kids, so everyone has a\nroom to sleep in at night. Then move onto the bathrooms: unpack toiletries,\nmats and shower curtains, and set out some fresh towels. Finally, move to the\nkitchen and set up essential items like the coffee maker, plates, cups, a few\nutensils, a toaster and maybe a frying pan so you can make breakfast the next\nmorning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once your priority rooms are set up, unpack a single room at\na time. This will keep you focused and reduce the overwhelming dread of being\nsurrounded by boxes. It\u2019s better having a single room finished instead of several\nrooms that are half done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moving can quickly take over your life and feel like it\u2019s\nnever ending. Clear out empty moving boxes as quickly as possible so you can\nreturn to your normal routine. If there are activities your family looks\nforward to each week, don\u2019t skip them! Your routine doesn\u2019t have to change\nbecause your location has.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the best ways to get settled in your new home is to\nexplore your new neighborhood. Take a walk and begin to meet your new\nneighbors, get acquainted with the sights and sounds of the community, and\nstart to get into the rhythm of the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moving and setting up a house isn\u2019t always easy so it\u2019s\nimportant to take time to relax. Your days may be busy with coordinating new\nschedules and discovering your new neighborhood, so take some time in the\nevening to enjoy your new home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
