The fastest and easiest way to arrange for utilities to be transfered into your name.

STEPS TO CONNECT OR DISCONNECT UTILITIES

Each Real Estate transaction is different, but typically 10 days to two weeks before you close escrow on your new home, it's wise to set up utilities to be transferred into your name. Set these up to begin on the close of escrow date agreed to in your Purchase Contract. It's also not a bad idea to contact each utility a couple days before close of escrow to make sure everything is in order. I've seen instances where a utility company neglects to properly take care of the transfer! Sometimes the utility company refuses to set up the transfer until they have heard from the Seller of the home you are buying. If that happens, contact your Buyers Agent, and he/she will contact the Listing Agent to get the Seller in gear.

Moving day can be extra stressful when you don't have a phone, water, or electricity, so please don't let this important step slip by!

You have two options for setting up your utilities. Ask your Buyers Agent for the phone numbers for each utility company servicing the home you are buying. Then call each one and explain that you are purchasing a home, and want to make arrangements for transferring the utility into your name for a particular date (COE Date).

OPTION ONE
Calling to make the arrangements personally:
What to expect when you call: They will typically ask for the address of the subject home. They will need some of your personal information to set up an account. Some may require a deposit, some may not. Have a pencil and paper handy because they will likely give you an account number for reference.
