What should I do on moving day before my sale closes? Leave your home ready for its new owner.

What stays with the house. Anything attached to the house, like light fixtures, stays, unless the purchase and sale agreement says otherwise.

Leave it clean. The buyer usually does a final walk-through before closing.

Keys, openers and codes. Leave the keys, garage door openers, and any codes.

Manuals and warranties. Leave the manuals for your appliances, furnace, and water heater, and any warranties. A kitchen drawer works well.

Utilities and services. Set up final readings for your utilities and garbage service, and transfer or cancel your internet.

Your change of address. Fill out a change of address with the post office, and update your bank and insurance.

Keep your insurance. Keep your homeowners insurance until the sale closes.
