Utilities

At the time of vacating the property after closing, I would like to remind you that utility accounts must be transferred. I recommend that the Sellers call the gas and electric companies to request a final reading. Please specify that you do not want a shut-off. The Purchasers should immediately contact the gas and electric companies to have the service put in their names.

Following are the numbers you will need to contact:

DTE ENERGY/MICHON
for Macomb, Oakland, St. Clair and Wayne Counties.
1-800-477-4747

CONSUMERS ENERGY COMPANY

for Macomb and Oakland Counties
1-800-477-5050

SEMCOENERGY GAS COMPANY

Macomb and St. Clair Counties.
1-800-624-2019

WATER
It is the Seller's responsibility to obtain a FINAL water bill or current actual reading at the time of vacating or immediately after closing (See Water Escrow Agreement).

TELEPHONE
AT&T — Customer Service: 1-800-244-4444
Verizon
of Michigan — Customer Service: 1-800-483-3000

MAIL SERVICE
Notify the post office and all correspondents of your change of address. The post office can provide a change of address kit for you, or go to the US Postal Service Change of Address Webpage and change your address online.


DOOR LOCKS

We recommend that the new owners change the locks on all outside doors. Here are a couple of links to assist you.
Locksmith.com Search Engine
Yahoo! List of Locksmiths


DRIVER'S LICENSE

You may wish to change the address on your driver's license by visiting Secretary of State's office or visiting the Secretary of State's Website; at the same time, don't forget to obtain a new voter registration card.

TAX ROLLS
It is the Purchaser's responsibility to inform the municipality of a change in ownership. You may be asked to bring in a copy of the Warranty Deed to the Treasurer's office, so it's a good idea to call before you go.
