You should also get a copy of the property plat that shows the property lines and easements. For the mailbox, you should get 3 keys, or the seller should pay you $35 for the cost of getting a new lock from the Post Office. I wouldn't worry about the seller providing a home warranty because they are usually worthless. I would recommend changing the locks in the house, and changing the garage door code.
Not just change the garage code but erase all of the codes (check the door manual which should be found online) before adding a new code(s). These openers can hold 5 - 8 or more codes. Simply adding 1 or 2 doesn't remove the codes used by previous owners or builders.
