Step 8
Closing
The closing of the transaction is when all the little pieces of the puzzle come together. By this time, you will have made arrangements for your property insurance, utilities, telephone service, and all the little creature comforts that make a house a home.
Generally, all the effort to make the closing a smooth and pleasant experience for you have been taken care of by your Broker, and you have had little or no knowledge of the hundreds of details that were involved.
At the closing, ownership of the property is transferred from the Seller to the Buyer. Typically, the Seller and the Buyer will attend the closing, funds for the sale will be distributed, and you will walk away from the meeting with the keys to your new home. The funds you will bring to closing MUST be certified, preferably on the form of a cashier’s check.
The relationship you have formed with your Broker will not end here. You should feel comfortable in calling your Broker at any time, with any question. It is our hope that you have enjoyed the home buying process, and that you will recommend us to your friends and family for years to come.
