Seller
Steps - Close of Escrow
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.
The final inspection takes place the day before,
or the day of the closing. The buyer visits the property to
confirm 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 buyers' 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.
The closing agent-attorney will provide all
parties involved with a settlement statement, which summarizes
and details the financial transactions enacted in the process.
The buyer(s) will sign this statement and then you will sign
as well as the closing agent-attorney, certifying its accuracy.
If you are unable to attend the scheduled closing, then arrangements
can be made depending on the circumstances and the notice
that we receive. If you are receiving funds from the transaction,
you can choose to either have the funds wired electronically
to an account at your financial institution, or have a check
issued to you at the closing. The seller should arrange to
have all property keys and any other important information
for the new purchaser at the closing, so that the purchaser
may receive these items at this time.
