The house of your dreams is finally yours! With those keys in hand, you are ready for what comes next – packing boxes, cleaning up your old place, and switching utilities.
While we can’t do the packing and cleaning, NextHome Concierge is happy to do the heavy lifting when it comes to utilities setup. This white glove-level service connects homebuyers with their new utility providers, extending NextHome’s already amazing agent support beyond the closing table.
If it’s been a while since your last move, you may be a little rusty on the details of moving your utility services with you: who you need to notify, when you have to tell them, etc. When you move, you’ll need to notify your service providers of your address change to stop or transfer the service and billing from your previous address to the new one. Providers you’ll need to notify include internet, cable, and home security. You’ll also need to notify your electric, water, and gas companies when to stop service at your current address and set service to start at your new place.
Some moves are across town, while others are across the country. Every homebuyer has a different story, and a different level of familiarity with the utilities options available at their new home. This is where NextHome Concierge excels.
Days leading up to and after the closing, a knowledgeable NextHome Concierge representative will research and analyze all available utility providers, then reach out to the home buyer with their various options. Then, NextHome Concierge will do the work to set up mail forwarding, security systems, water, gas, electric, internet, and cable service in addition to well-researched and competitive auto, home, and umbrella insurance.
With so many options available for different service providers, it’s nice to have an expert advocate in your corner looking out for ways to seamlessly save money.
NextHome Concierge partners with industry leaders My Utilities and C1 Insurance Group to ensure each experience is guided by a knowledgeable utilities and insurance professional.
Once the NextHome Concierge representative completes their work, the home buyer will receive a simple summary email with account numbers and directions for setting up online utility account access.
Best of all, this service comes at no cost for clients who use NextHome agents to find their next home.
Throughout the entire process, the NextHome Concierge representative and the NextHome real estate agent remain one connected team. In addition to easing the stress that surrounds moving, NextHome Concierge remains a committed partner years down the road. When homeowner policies come up for renewal, or you need to change utilities with another move, a NextHome Concierge representative will reach out again.
Wherever life takes you, NextHome Concierge is there to do the heavy lifting of researching and switching utility providers. With someone else carrying this load, you can make sure everything is up and running before you step foot in the door.
