Buyer Preparations
Closing process
Once your offer has been accepted, we address the main steps in closing the sale.
Complete the home inspection within five days to a week after signing the purchase offer.
Your real estate agent will negotiate inspection items (if applicable).
Your attorney will “fact-check” documents for errors and provide you with the P&S for signing.
Your real estate agent will obtain all signatures for the P&S and email you the DepositLink for the second deposit.
Get your Insurance Policy for your new home.
Call all utility providers for your new home ( electricity, gas, water, cable, internet, phone, etc.).
The home appraisal by a third-party independent appraiser will be scheduled (necessary if you get a mortgage).
Your attorney will provide a draft closing statement within one to 3 days of closing for your review.
You will do a final walkthrough of the home with your agent either the day before or the day of closing.
Closing Day- Your attorney will have you sign the necessary documents to transfer ownership.
Review your settlement statement for a complete list of fees and credits for the sale.
