Closing Day
If you have come this far, 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 the day before, or the day of the closing. The buyer visits the property to verify that all is in working order, everything is the same as when the buyer last viewed the property, and that there are no extra items left behind.
Cancel Home Services and Utilities.
We will provide a list of useful numbers for the termination 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. If something at the property breaks down or the buyer’s loan does not pull through on time, there is 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.
At this point, the Title Company will furnish the principals with a closing statement, which summarizes all the financial transactions enacted in the process. At closing, you and the buyer will sign the final documents for the Title Company. They will record the transaction for you and the buyer at the County Recorder’s Office. At closing, you will receive your proceeds, and the buyer will become the new owner.
