Congratulations on reaching this milestone in your home-buying journey! With your second earnest money deposited and attorney review and the inspection period complete, it's time to start preparing for the big move.
First things first, consider hiring movers and begin packing your belongings. Moving companies tend to book up quickly, so it's wise to reach out for estimates and secure a mover as soon as possible. If you're moving into a condo building, don't forget to check with the HOA President or Property Management Company regarding any move-in fees, elevator reservations, or restrictions you need to be aware of.
Keep in mind that you won't be able to move into your new place until after the closing is finalized and you're given the keys. Be prepared to head to your new place immediately after closing to coordinate with the movers, considering the time it takes to travel.
For residential moves, you may need to arrange for temporary no-parking signs through your local Alderman's office or the New York Department of Transportation. These signs should be requested at least 48 hours in advance of your move and are typically available for an eight-hour window between 8 am and 6 pm.
Additionally, check if your new street requires permit-only parking. You can find information on permit parking and a list of City Clerk locations, Department of Revenue Sub-Stations, and Community Vendors who may assist you.
By staying organized and planning ahead, you can ensure a smooth transition into your new home. If you have any questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out. Happy moving!
