Luxury Home

Moving into a new place is an exciting venture. After searching through different luxury homes for sale in San Rafael, finding the perfect one is only half of the job. In fact, there's a lot of stuff that needs to get done before you can relax completely in your new home.

Read on for some quick tips to make a new place feel like home.

1. Secure your homeFor your own peace of mind, change the locks of your San Rafael luxury home or add another one that is not pre-installed. This makes sense because you never know who else might have copies of the keys aside from the previous owners. You might also want to install deadbolts or home security systems for added protection.

2. Check the appliancesMake sure that your major appliances are in good condition. Check your stove, dishwasher, dryer, and other appliances to make sure that they were not damaged during the move. If you used a moving company, you can submit a claim if there was anything damaged or missing.

3. Get connected to your new neighborhood

One of the things that you should do after moving to your high end real estate in San Rafael is to search for the local newspaper and subscribe to it. This will quickly give you an idea on what is happening in your neighborhood. Look for the local supermarket, pharmacy, hospital, doctor and dentist.

3. Get connected to your new neighborhood

Do not forget to collect emergency phone numbers. You should also check online for a local “Nextdoor”, it’s a local neighborhood social network community that gives you instant information on what is going on in the neighborhood.

4. Organize as you unpackAvoid unpacking everything all at once. Get organized by sorting your boxes into their specific rooms. Start with the essentials. For your convenience, begin with your bedroom so you can sleep later in the night. If you have kids set up their room first and then your own room. Tackle next the family room and the kitchen. Consider eating at a restaurant or ordering a take out so you won’t have to unpack plates, bowls, and utensils right away.

5. Relax and enjoyTake time to relax and enjoy your home. After making sure your house is set up perfectly, allow yourself to rest and appreciate your new residence. After all, this is where you are going to live for a while. Congratulate yourself for you are finally in your new home.
