A general guide, not legal or financial advice. Your contract dates, lender requirements, and the utilities serving a specific address are what actually govern your move — confirm each one directly. Watch out for wire fraud: verify any closing wire instructions by calling the title company at a number you looked up yourself, never a number in an email.
Questions? Let's talk it through.
Whatever these tools show you, call or text me and I'll walk you through your options personally — the real tax bill, a lender introduction, and what similar homes are selling for. No pressure, and no question is too small.
