🏡 Just got the keys? Here's what to do FIRST — before you unpack a single box.

📲 Buying soon? Text me NOW: 562-600-9793

Most people skip straight to decorating. But these 8 moves protect
your investment from day one 👇

1️⃣ Change all the locks — you never know who still has a copy of the keys
2️⃣ Change the toilet seats — trust me on this one 😂
3️⃣ Deep clean before you unpack — way easier while it's still empty
4️⃣ Find your main water & gas shut off valves — know these BEFORE an emergency
5️⃣ Update smoke & CO detectors — replace batteries or upgrade the unit
6️⃣ Review your home insurance — confirm replacement value & coverage
7️⃣ Create a "Home Binder" — store all your docs, manuals, receipts & contracts
8️⃣ Start a home maintenance fund — owning a home comes with
unexpected costs, be ready

Save this for when you close escrow. Send it to someone buying this year. 🔑
