The New Homeowner's First 90 Days — Free Guide

You got the keys. Now what?

An 8-page guide with 51 things to do after closing, in the order that actually matters — from the locks you should change this week to the property tax exemption most buyers never file and pay for every year afterwards.

What is in it

• Week one — rekeying, finding and tagging every shutoff, labelling the breaker panel, and the twenty minutes of photography that decides your first insurance claim.
• Weeks two to four — the system checks that catch cheap problems before they become expensive ones.
• Days 30 to 60 — the money moves nobody mentions: homestead exemption, assessment appeals, escrow verification, your PMI cancellation date, and how to spot the official-looking scam mail that arrives after every closing.
• Days 60 to 90 — building your contractor bench before you need it, and knowing the age of the roof, HVAC and water heater so they stop being surprises.

Free. No catch. If it is useful, the workbooks are there when you want them.
