Congratulations! You’re A Homeowner - Do This Now!
While it may happen in different ways in different cities.
You receive the phone call.
The transaction has recorded.
We’re confirmed.
The house is yours.
Here are the keys to your new home.
But wait….
When you learn you have closed on your home purchase...
I suggest - you do this first...
Call a locksmith.
First, why?
Who has a copy of the keys to your new home?
The former owners probably gave you all of their keys but who knows for sure? Maybe they forgot....
The housekeeper? A former housekeeper?
Kids? Adult children?
Neighbors?
A Handyman? A contractor?
The gardener(who has the key to the locked rear yard)?
Did the house have a lockbox?
You get the idea, right?
So call a locksmith and change the keys.
