1. 5 Things You Should
Do After Buying a
Single Story Carlsbad
Home

2. Congratulations on finally buying your dream single
story Carlsbad CA home for sale! You’ve come a
long way and you’ve probably gone through so much
just to get there - from saving money for your
downpayment, looking for an agent, shopping for
homes, viewing house after house, filling out
paperwork, and finally closing on the home sale and
getting the keys to your new home. Now that it’s all
over, what happens next after closing?

3. It would be normal to want to celebrate
or invite some family and friends for a
housewarming party, but before you sit
back, relax, and enjoy you new home,
there are a few more important things
you need to do after closing:

4. If you are a first time homeowner, the closing
documents (mortgage loan documents, title certificate,
etc.) will probably be the most valuable documents
that you will ever have. Your first stop after closing
should be at a local copier so you can have them
copied while the documents are all still complete and
in order. Have at least one copy per page and keep
them well. You can also save them digitally.
1. Make copies of the closing documents.

5. Copies of these documents will also be filed with with
your county’s registry of deeds, but sometimes clerical
errors happen and in case it does, at least you have
your own copies as a safety net.

7. Now that you have copies of the closing documents,
you can keep them in a secure place in your new one
story home in Carlsbad CA so you have easy access in
case you will be needing them. The originals are best
stored in a more secure off-site location like a safety
deposit box. An alternative is to file them with your
attorney.
2. Get a safety deposit box to store your original
closing documents

8. The keys of your new single story home in Carlsbad
CA may have passed a lot of hands while it was on the
market. Chances are someone else has copies of the old
keys besides you so change the locks as soon as you
get the keys to your new home for an added measure
of security. You may also want to secure your
windows and sliding doors.
3. Change the locks of your doors.

9. Check the temperature of your hot water and heating
systems during your first day in your new home. If you
bought a newly built-home or a vacant home, chances
are the water heater has been turned to “vacation”
mode just before closing to save the seller on utility
bills. You wouldn’t want to get a cold surprise as you
take a shower for the first time in your new home!

10. Don’t let your belongings to be moved into your new home
be paraded for everyone to see! If your new home does not
come with window treatments, make sure you have
curtains or window treatments for each room. If you have
not brought any, temporary covers like shower curtains,
blankets, or even cardboard would do for now until you get
the real thing. What’s important is your privacy is
safeguarded.
5. Cover your windows.

12. As a new homeowner, you are now
responsible for your single story
home in Carlsbad CA so make
sure to do these 5 important
things after closing the deal.
