Hi John;
I’m wondering what time on possession day I can get my keys? I want to book some cleaners to go into the house before we start moving in. I was reading the contract, and it says noon. So would it be safe to book the cleaners for 1pm?

Hello Diana;
I don’t recommend booking anything for possession day. There are so many factors that can delay the possession, none of which I have any control over. But I can tell you that there’s a very important Murphy’s Law in real estate:
“If you book something for possession day, there will be a major delay.”
Couriers could run late, lawyers can make mistakes, the other Realtor could be busy and not call me with key release, the seller could have a delay getting out of the home, land titles could run behind, etc. etc. etc.
My advise would be to book your cleaners for the day after possession, and move in the following day. It’s just safer that way.
