Buying a new home is always an exciting time, whether it’s someone’s first time or their tenth time. Of course, there’s a certain amount of stress that comes along with that excitement, but if buyers know a few tips and tricks, Piedmont Residential can help make their transition into their new home much smoother.

As new homeowners get settled in, there are a few logistics they must make sure to take care of. One of the most important is to fill out a change of address form. They can do this by visiting a local post office or going to the U.S. Postal Service website. Homeowners can sleep easy once they know their mail will be arriving safely.

Making sure their family is safe should be a new owner’s top priority. When buying a new home from Piedmont Residential, they ensure tat your family’s safety is a top priority. There are a few other safety features like smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors that Piedmont Residential installs in every new home.

It’s always a good idea for new owners to learn as much as they can about both their home and the new community they find themselves in. Knowing where the main circuit breaker is, and which breakers affect which areas, and where the water shutoffs are located are just a couple of things to discover. With Piedmont Residential’s amazing new home communities, homebuyers will have peace of mind meetings that include an orientation walk through showing homebuyers all they need to know about their house.

After the house has been properly explored, new homeowners will find it useful to check out the areas surrounding their new home. They can take a drive to truly get a feel for the community, and it’s always smart to find a few of the essentials: the closest grocery store, hospital, post office, gas station, bank and others.

It never hurts to be friendly! After moving in, owners should introduce themselves to their neighbors. Making a good first impression can go a long way and hopefully lead to a bond between the two. Having close friends or even just trusted acquaintances right next door can create a better peace of mind.

These tips are not all inclusive, but they do lay the groundwork for the steps after the home-buying process. Homeowners want to feel safe, comfortable and of course happy in their new home. Having a smooth transition from home buyer to homeowner makes all those things possible.
