Closing Day
If you have come this far, then this means that it is almost time for congratulations, but not yet. Do not forget to tie up these loose ends:
Final Walk-Through Inspection.
The final inspection, which is more of a formality, typically occurs either the day before or on the day of the closing. During this visit, you’ll ensure that all systems are operational, the property remains consistent with your previous viewings, no additional items are left behind, and all items included in your purchase remain on the premises.
Home Services and Utilities.
We will provide a list of useful numbers for the activation of home services and utilities after the closing occurs.
Be Prepared.
We are ready to assist you 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. We have encountered these problems before, so we know how to handle them efficiently and in a stress-free manner.
Closing.
The closing agent will provide a settlement statement to all involved parties, summarizing and detailing the financial transactions enacted in the process. You, along with the seller(s) and the closing agent, will sign this statement to certify its accuracy. If you’re securing financing, you’ll need to sign all necessary documentation mandated by the lending institution. In the event you cannot attend the scheduled closing, alternative arrangements can be made based on the circumstances and the notice that we receive. Should you be contributing funds to the transaction, you can choose to wire the funds electronically into the closing agent’s escrow account or bring a certified bank check to the closing, in accordance with the amount specified on the settlement statement. Additionally, the seller should ensure all property keys and pertinent information are arranged for transfer.
