Step 8: Moving.
The closing is usually the time that the buyer takes
possession of the property, which more or less means that you
need to be out of the home by then.
There are situations where a rental agreement is set up
between the buyer and seller, but it’s far less complicated if you
go ahead and tackle the packing and moving process before
closing. Keep the following in mind as you do so.
Where you Currently Reside
 Provide a forwarding address to your post office.
 Don’t forget to give your friends, family and
acquaintances your current contact information.
 Submit changes of address to your magazine
subscriptions, credit cards, etc.
Insurance and Banking
 Order new checks and transfer money if you’re switching
banks.
