Now that the inspection period is complete, it’s time to focus on packing and preparing for your move! You can confidently hire movers and start organizing your belongings. If you haven’t already, call now to get moving estimates and book a moving company—many movers fill up weeks in advance, especially during peak seasons. Having a scheduled move-in date ensures a smooth transition into your new home.
When Can You Move In?
Although you’re eager to settle into your new place, you won’t be able to move in until your deed has been recorded at the courthouse and you receive the keys from the title company. While we will have a specific time for signing closing documents we won’t have an exact time the recording at the courthouse will take place. The earlier both parties sign, the sooner your deed will be recorded, which means you’ll likely receive your keys on the same day. However, if your closing occurs late in the day, you may have to wait until the next business day to gain access to your new home. If possible, aim for a morning or early afternoon closing to avoid delays.
Preparing for a Stress-Free Move
- Confirm your closing schedule with your agent, lender, and title escrow officer.
- Plan your move-in date wisely—ideally, schedule movers for the day after closing in case of unexpected delays.
- Keep essential items handy—a bag with important documents, daily necessities, and valuables should be readily accessible.
Once your deed is recorded and keys are in hand, your new home is officially yours—time to celebrate and start making it your own!

Whichever mover you end up using, I highly recommend asking them to bring wardrobe boxes with them for all of your hanging clothes. That way you don’t have to take everything off the hangers and pack the items up. Instead, the movers will simply grab everything in your closets that is hanging, put them on the rods in the boxes and then when you get to your new home you can just grab the hangers and hang the items back up. Saves a ton of time. Click here for a fun, short article on how to pack like a pro.
