1. Financial: Get Pre-Approved and Prepare for Closing

3. Logistics: Plan Ahead for a Smooth Transition

With your move-in date in sight, it’s time to organize the details. Book a reputable moving company early to secure your spot, especially if you’re moving during peak season. Notify your utility providers and arrange for services like water, electric, and internet to be transferred or set up at your Rivington address. Don’t forget to update your address with your bank, employer, and subscriptions. A little planning here saves a lot of stress later.

4. Packing: Start Early and Stay Organized

Packing always takes longer than expected—so start early! Begin with items you don’t use every day and clearly label each box with its contents and destination room. Consider color-coding or numbering boxes for even more efficiency. Keep one box aside for essentials like toiletries, chargers, and a few days’ worth of clothes—you’ll thank yourself when you’re unpacking in your new Lennar or Ryan home.

5. Moving Day: Final Walkthrough and Settling In

On moving day, do a final walkthrough of your previous home to ensure nothing is left behind. At Rivington, you’ll receive your keys and step into a home designed with style, function, and comfort. Once the last box is in place, take a moment to celebrate—your move marks the start of life in a welcoming DeBary neighborhood where every day feels like a fresh start.
