Is there anything I should do immediately after closing?
The first thing you should do is have your locks changed. I am not saying your sellers will be stopping by the first chance they get, its just that you never know how many copies of your new keys are out in the world. And besides, the new locks will give you a peace of mind when you lay your head down at night.
In addition, you should place your deed and other important papers from your closing in a fireproof and secure place..preferably a safe deposit box. Even though your homes documents are all filed and on record with the county, its a good idea to know that your original copies are in a safe environment and you have access to them at all times.
Be sure the utilities have been changed into your name so there are no interruptions of service. If your not familiar with the utility companies names, phone numbers and web sites, ask your Realtor for a list of names and numbers to make the process easier for you. For my clients in the Boston area, I provide my buyers and sellers with a quick and easy printable resource sheet like the one found on my web site @ http://www.bostonresidentialre.com/resources.
