Forgetting to Cancel/Switch Utilities and Insurance
Many sellers overlook notifying utilities that they are moving or applying for utility service at their new home. Call the utilities and your insurance company as soon as a contract is signed. Find out how many days lead time they need to switch or cancel, then get back with them when you have a firm closing date. (The real estate broker should advise on these aspects prior to the Notary signing of the Deed of Sale).
Letting Emotions Take Over
Keep calm throughout the selling process, especially during and after a house inspection. Be practical and presume that issues will arise. It’s not uncommon to have to pay for some repairs. Don’t let the buyer’s request to complete a minor repair kill the deal.
