My wonderful mother not only arranged to have the house cleaned, the best housewarming gift on the face of the planet, but she made the appointments to get us connected to the web, cable, and phone.

Wow! According to my folks, closing went off without a hitch. The walkthrough went smoothly. Everything is pretty much as we last saw it.
