Closing Day

If you have come this far, then this means that it is almost time for a congratulations, but not yet. Do not forget to tie up these loose ends:

Final Walk-Through Inspection.

More of a formality than anything else, the final inspection takes place a day before, or the day of the closing. We will visit the property to verify that all is in working order, required repairs were completed, everything is the same as when you last viewed the property, that there are no extra items left behind, and that everything included in your purchase is still at the property.

Home Services and Utilities.

I will provide a list of useful numbers for the activation of home services and utilities a couple weeks prior to closing so you can get these items coordinated for the closing day.

Be Prepared.

I will be here to assist and resolve issues should an unforeseen glitch pop up, even at this last stage. Something at the property breaks down, or some other minor detail – no need to worry. I have encountered these problems before so I know how to handle them efficiently and in a stress-free manor.

Closing.

The closing attorney will provide everyone with a settlement statement, which summarizes and details the financial transaction. You and the seller(s) will sign this statement, as well as the closing attorney, certifying its accuracy. If you are obtaining financing, you will have to sign loads of documents (rest up your writing hand!) required by the mortgage company. If you need to bring funds to closing, you will set up a wire the day prior to closing. No need to stress; I will remind you of all the important steps throughout the process. No detail will be forgotten! At closing, once everything has been signed and the lender has funded the closing, the seller will provide you with all of the property keys, amenity access cards, garage door remotes, etc. Finally, a huge congratulations will be in order!!
