A Couple of "Forget Me Not's" When Buying or Selling Your Home

Well...I'll use this idiom of "Forget Me Not's" in a different context than what it's normally used as but here goes....Don't Forget To:
1. Change the locks on the doors if you choose when you first move it
2. Write down the name of the paints you use to paint the rooms, including the mix #, the brand, gloss or flat, and what room it went in.  And if you're a nice seller, pass this info to your buyer as well
3. Remove any baby-proofing locks you may have on your cabinets
4. Ask the sellers who they used to garden their lawn...this person may already be familiar with the landscape and how to work it well
5. Try to have the utility services "transferred" from the seller to buyer as oppose to having them turned off then starting a new account (this could save you some $$)
6. Get the names and #'s of all your neighbors when you move in...you never know when you'll need a helping hand or they may need yours
7.  Hire a pest control company to come "control" would-be pests once a month...the amount to spend if damage happens can be a lot.
8. Look into putting your property into a Trust. You will need to talk to an attorney, your finance manager and/or your tax person about this. Talking about Living Trusts and Wills is not everyone's favorite subject but trust me, from a broker's point-of-view, you are better off going through the process of making a trust and transferring your property into it rather than someone having to go to probate with your property if something happens.
9. Last but not least, don't forget me! That is, to call me when you are thinking about buying or selling your home here in LA.
Cheers!
