the home such as water softener service, pool maintenance, lawn
maintain, satellite service, security dial up service, your home
owner's insurance, etc.
12. Occupancy Logistics: Unless your contract specified a
date different then the closing date for the buyer to take
occupancy, you will be expected to turn over the keys to the buyer
at the closing.
If you or the buyer desires a different arrangement, then this
must be negotiated between yourself and the buyer. If you
anticipate a problem due to logistics to turn over the keys to the
buyer at the closing, you should make a request for a deviation as
quickly as possible.
If the buyer is also selling their home on the same date,
there may be a logistics problem with the buyer also, making it
impossible for the buyer to deviate. Due to many liabilities it is
advisable to make a clean break at the time of closing.
Even though there is always a slight possibility of the deal
not closing until you are actually sitting at the closing table, you
should proceed forward and make the necessary arrangements to
comply with the occupancy as specified in the contract.
12. The final walk-through: Usually within 24 to 48 hours
before closing, the buyer, along with their agent, will do their
final "walk through" to verify that all repairs (if any) have been
finished, and to make sure that what they contracted for is still in
the same condition.
If there are any problems your agent will be notified. Most
problems should have been "ironed out" by now, but if the walk
through results in a non-acceptance by the buyer, there may be
some re-negotiation.
