Real Estate Closing process
 |
Steps to the closing tables?
Once you have found the home you want to buy, there are
several additional steps you need to take to close the
sale after the purchase and sale agreements have been
signed.
Step 1. Contingency removal: The most common
contingencies are inspection, financing and the sale of
your current home. These conditions must be removed or
waived in writing before the sale on your new home can
close.
Step 2. Appraisal and title report: Your lender
requires a formal appraisal to confirm the value of the
home you’re buying, to use as collateral to secure the
loan. The title report ensures that the seller has clear
title to the property and has the right to transfer
ownership to you.
Step 3. Prepare closing documents: Escrow service
companies or real estate attorneys prepare documents
that confirm the transaction, prorate funds, etc.
Step 4. Signing of closing documents: Although
both parties may have signed closing documents and
deposited funds, the sale actually closes when the deed
is recorded and the proceeds are available to the
seller.
Step 5. You get the keys to your new home!
There are many opportunities for surprises or delays in
a transaction. Part of my expertise is in
troubleshooting problems that arise in the closing
process, including anticipating and preparing for
potential problems before they arise.
