    I have joined a wonderful company with a fantastic white glove concierge service that is free to the mortgage company and the borrowers. Connecting utilities and home services might be the most critical, yet cumbersome aspect of moving into any new home. From calling and waiting on hold with multiple providers, to scrambling last minute to be sure the power is on in time for the move. Setting up utilities and home services is anything but easy. MyUtilities offers a simple solution. With an assigned Utilities Advisor, the home buyer is in good hands. In one 15-20 minute call, the buyer will have the installs scheduled, account numbers set up, and any outstanding applications in their inbox following the call. MyUtilities partners with leaders in the mortgage industry to provide this complimentary service to the borrower to enable our partners to serve their clients in a new way, differentiate themselves from the competition, and drive additional revenue. If you’d like to learn more about adding this service to your brand, reach out to Cissy Larkin at [email protected].
