Getting all the 🧩 pieces to fit when buying a home is no small feat, and that includes moving day.

When you put the key in the door and walk into your new home, the last thing you want then is a mess left by the sellers or stacks of their old paint cans out in the garage.

How to hedge your bets on these unwelcome surprises?

📽1) Have your realtor ask sellers to send photos of any items they plan to leave so you can say yay or nay.

👠2) Do a walk through with your realtor 2-3 days prior to signing to see how things look.

🧹3) Expect to do some cleaning chores yourself so that if they’re not needed you’ll be pleasantly surprised !
