Moving to Southwest Florida (SWFL) from another state is almost no different than moving to any other area. There is so much info that you need to know and even a great Realtors may not be able to help you with everything right away. Even when people make their "Must Do or Things to Do" checklist, you still forget something. A good realtor may help remind or point you in the right direction of the most important things to do, but they can only do so much. Neighbors can be another great source of info but you're not trying to wear out your welcome right away either.

Typically before going to your house settlement closing, your realtor may have already instructed you to switch your electric and water services over. Below are the 4 major services that was on my "To Do List" before I purchased my home. Having these basic services information to your electric company (FPL), water company (Charlotte County Utilities) , trash (Charlotte County Sanitation) and DMV ahead of time and at your fingertip will help you. to visit their website for more info just click the title links below.

1. Electric
