Aaron's perspective

When sellers and buyers ask me what to do before closing, utilities are the part that is easy to forget until move in day. A short list with the right phone numbers saves a surprising amount of stress, and sellers often like to hand the new owner a one page version. I keep this guide current so the people I work with have it in one place. Providers, hours, and phone numbers do change, so please confirm with the provider directly.
