Buying a Home Step 30: Congratulations, you’re a homeowner, now what happens?

Congratulations on becoming a homeowner! Once you have moved in, there are a few things you can do to settle in and make your new house feel like home. Your realtor can be a valuable resource during this time.

First, make sure you have all of the necessary utilities set up and functioning properly. Your realtor can provide you with a list of recommended service providers to help you get started.

Next, get to know your new neighborhood and community. Your realtor can connect you with local groups and organizations that align with your interests. This can be a great way to meet new people and make new friends.

Consider attending a local event or festival to get a feel for the community. Your realtor may also have recommendations for restaurants, shops, and other businesses in the area.

Finally, take the time to personalize your new home. Unpack your belongings, decorate, and make any necessary repairs or upgrades. Your realtor can provide recommendations for local home improvement stores and contractors.
