Closing Day: Final Steps for Buyers
You’re almost there—closing day is just around the corner! While congratulations are in order, there are still a few final steps to ensure a smooth transition to your new home.
Final Walk-Through Inspection
Typically conducted before or on the day of closing, the final walk-through is your opportunity to confirm that the property is in the agreed-upon condition. You’ll check that all systems and appliances are functioning, no unexpected damage has occurred, and any agreed-upon repairs have been completed.
Additionally, ensure that no unwanted items have been left behind and that everything included in the purchase remains in place.
Setting Up Home Services & Utilities
To make your move seamless, we will provide you with a list of essential contacts for activating utilities and home services once the closing is complete.
Be Prepared for the Unexpected
Even at this final stage, minor issues can arise—perhaps an appliance stops working, or a small detail needs attention. Rest assured, we have experience handling last-minute concerns efficiently, ensuring the process remains stress-free.
The Closing Process
At closing, the settlement statement will be presented to all parties, detailing the financial transactions involved. You, the seller, and the closing agent will sign this document to certify its accuracy.
If you’re securing financing, you’ll also sign the necessary loan documents. In cases where you cannot attend the scheduled closing, alternative arrangements can be made with advance notice.
If you’re bringing funds to closing, you may either wire them directly to the closing agent’s escrow account or provide a certified bank check for the amount specified on the settlement statement.
Finally, the seller will arrange to transfer all keys and important property-related information to you at the closing.
With these final steps complete, you’ll officially be a homeowner—congratulations!
