Congratulations! You’ve just sold your home. To ensure the new owners experience a seamless transition into their Boise residence, consider these thoughtful touches:
- Essentials for Immediate Needs: Leave at least one roll of toilet paper in each bathroom and perhaps some hand soap and a towel. It’s often the little things like these that are overlooked during a move. Placing a trash can somewhere in the house can also be a huge help on moving day.
- Organize and Label: Collect all essential items and information that the new owners might need. Leave remotes for ceiling fans, garage doors, and lighting in a kitchen drawer—every house has that one “junk” drawer. Don’t forget to include any spare keys and manuals or warranty information for appliances. Label installations and service dates on important utilities like the water heater and furnace.
- Maintenance Supplies: If you have extra paint, tiles, or spare hardware like hinges and cabinet handles, leave these for the new owners. They’ll appreciate having these on hand for quick fixes or matching replacements. Consider leaving some spare light bulbs, especially if you have unique fixtures.
- Codes and Smart Devices: Provide a list of codes for garage doors, security systems, or smart locks. Also, leave instructions or a list of apps needed for any smart devices in the home, like thermostats or security cameras.
- Local Insights: Share a list of friendly neighbors, along with their contact information and a brief note on how they might be helpful. Include your favorite local spots around Boise—shopping centers, parks, restaurants, and the nearest hardware store can all be great additions.
- Utility and Service Recommendations: Inform the new owners about the best internet and mobile phone services available in Boise. Include information on who to contact for lawn care, and details like trash service day and provider.
With these thoughtful preparations, you can make the transition smoother for the new homeowners. Now it’s time to focus on your own move!
