I'm one of THOSE buyers!! Delivery before closing...and question.

I'm set to close on my new house on Tuesday, 8/3. We need a lot of new furniture as this house is much larger than the one we're currently in. A lot of websites do not offer scheduled deliveries, so I've had to go off of "receive by date" on items. I ordered a set of 6-dining chairs that said, "receive as early as 8/5" this week on 7/27. To my horror, it is scheduled to be delivered to my new house TOMORROW when it isn't my house yet!! Luckily, FedEx offered to hold it at a local pickup site when I called, so I really am NOT one of those buyers. It also happened with the ceiling fans I ordered this week, also being shipped by FedEx, so I have learned my lesson now. They are both set to be held locally until I close now. Everything else will be ordered next week after I close!

On another note, I have a question about thanking my realtor. She is a personal friend. Yes, I know she has made thousands off of us. We sold through her, we had an offer $12k over asking in 12-hrs, and she assisted us in our buying, as well. This was the only offer we had to put in, she advocated for us and she held off when we told her to (we didn't have our offer on our home yet). Owners actually came back to us saying they wanted to sell to locals and by then we had our offer. She has arranged for a cleaning company to come clean our old house the day after we move, all paid for by her. We are thinking we should also do something for her? Is that acceptable? I know it's probably not necessary, we were thinking of a gift card to our favorite restaurant or something. Thoughts?

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
