The Real Estate closing
The closing is the final exchange of legal documents, title and monies before you take possession of your new home. The buyers, sellers, Realtors® and attorneys for both sides and title company representatives may or may not all be present.
- You will most likely conduct a final walk through of the property with your Realtor® to insure the property has been left just as you negotiated and in “Broom Clean” condition.
- Bring a valid photo ID, license and/or Passport for identification. You will need to provide evidence of homeowners insurance (pre-paid for a year) to the closing attorney.
- Certified funds are required and personal checks are not acceptable for closing costs. Please be sure to bring a treasures check, cashiers check or certified check for the monies due. Having the exact amount wired through the banks is also a very convenient way of completing a transaction.
- Have your personal checkbook on hand for last-minute adjustments and pro-rations, such as leftover oil in the tank, outstanding water bill, courier or attorney fees.
- Get the keys and start enjoying your new home!
