The Closing Process

HOMEOWNER’S INSURANCE: MAKE SURE YOU’RE COVERED!

Unless you’re paying the sale price of the home in cash, your lender will require the purchase of homeowner’s insurance before closing.

A HOME WARRANTY LETS YOU SLEEP BETTER AT NIGHT

Whether you’re a first-time home buyer or empty nester downsizing after several previous home buys, it might be a smart idea to have a warranty plan, so that you can sleep well at night.

GETTING AN APPRAISAL DIFFERS FROM THE EVALUATION BY A PROPERTY INSPECTOR

A real estate appraiser is a state-licensed expert who determines the value of a certain property. When it comes to closing a financial transaction involving a property, both the seller and the buyer depend on his or her evaluation.

Get Ready for Your Closing Day

Prepare all the paperwork that you’ve collected during the process. This includes the title search and insurance, inspection reports, bank statements, home appraisal, checks of down payment closing costs, and prepaid interest.

AFTER YOU SIGN THE PAPERS

Take the keys and start moving into your new house. Now you’re a legitimate owner and a person who is responsible for a mortgage loan.
