Closing and Move-Out Date Planner

A proposed closing date and the day you leave the house can involve different arrangements. Put two possible schedules side by side and see which questions to discuss before deciding.

You do not need settled dates, paperwork or a commitment to sell before contacting us. These are planning dates, not confirmation that a sale will close or permission to stay after closing.

Choose dates to compare two schedules. If the interactive tool is unavailable, use the questions below as a planning checklist.

No contact information is needed. This planner’s code does not send or save your dates. Normal website analytics may still record your visit.

Questions to discuss

• Which dates and handover time would be written into the agreement?
• What would need to happen before the sale could close?
• Who would coordinate access, keys and any belongings that remain?
• If the dates differ, which expenses and responsibilities would each person have?
• Who should you contact if the closing or moving plans change?

A date entered here does not create an agreement or establish a legal deadline. Ask the people handling your transaction to explain the proposed terms. Obtain qualified advice about any occupancy arrangement before agreeing to it.

The California Department of Real Estate’s escrow reference chapter explains that the parties’ instructions govern the escrow process and discusses arrangements where possession occurs after closing. This planner only counts calendar days between your chosen dates; it does not calculate contractual notice periods or business days.

Compare the rest of the offer, too

Timing is one part of the decision. You can also compare the buyer, price, conditions and the amount you expect to receive. See our cash-offer comparison guide and home sale proceeds calculator.
