First 90 Days
Settle into your new home with a clear first-three-months plan
The First 90 Days checklist covers what new owners forget: changing locks, locating shutoffs, testing detectors, filing paperwork and starting a maintenance routine.
It is ordered by urgency, so safety comes first and the nice-to-haves wait.
No card required. The full toolkit on your first home.
What it looks like
The same interface you use on your phone during a showing.

How it works
- 1
Secure the home
Locks, detectors, shutoffs and emergency basics first.
- 2
Get organized
Warranties, manuals, utilities and paperwork in one place.
- 3
Build a rhythm
A simple maintenance schedule you will actually follow.
Why this matters when buying a home
- The keys you received are not the only keys that exist. Rekeying is week-one work.
- Knowing where the water shutoff is saves thousands during a burst pipe.
- Small, scheduled maintenance is the cheapest form of home insurance there is.
First 90 Days — frequently asked questions
Is 90 days really necessary?
The urgent items take an afternoon. The rest is spread out so ownership does not start with a giant to-do list.
What matters most in week one?
Locks, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and knowing where every shutoff is.
Does it work for a condo or townhome?
Yes. Items that belong to an HOA are noted so you know what is your responsibility and what is not.
