Closing Day: Final Steps to Seal the Deal

You’re almost there! Closing day marks the final steps before becoming the official owner of your new property. Here are a few key details to cover to ensure a smooth transition:

Final Walk-Through Inspection
The final inspection, typically done a day before or the day of closing, allows you to check that the property is in the agreed-upon condition. Verify that everything is in working order, no additional items are left behind, and everything included in the sale is still on-site.

Setting Up Home Services and Utilities
To make your move as seamless as possible, we’ll provide a list of contacts for setting up home services and utilities right after closing.

Be Ready for Any Last-Minute Needs
We’re here to help if any last-minute issues arise. Whether it’s a minor repair needed or a missing detail, our experience means we’re ready to handle it efficiently and minimize any stress on closing day.

The Closing Process
The closing agent will present a settlement statement, detailing all financial transactions for review. You, the seller, and the closing agent will sign to confirm its accuracy. If you’re financing, you’ll sign any additional documents required by the lender. Should you be unable to attend the scheduled closing, alternative arrangements can be made with advance notice.

• Funds Transfer: If you’re bringing funds, you can either wire the money directly to the closing agent’s escrow account or bring a certified bank check for the exact amount listed on the settlement statement.
• Keys and Essential Information: The seller will typically bring all keys and important property information to the closing, transferring them to you directly to mark the official handover.

Congratulations are almost in order! Closing day is the last step toward making your new property yours, and we’re here to ensure it all goes smoothly.
