Close of Escrow

Closing Day. If you have made it this far, congratulations are almost in order, but not quite yet. There are still some loose ends to tie up, including:

Final Walk-Through Inspection. The final inspection is more of a formality than anything else and typically takes place the day before or on the day of closing. During this time, the buyer visits the property to ensure that everything is in working order, that there have been no unexpected changes since their last viewing, and that no additional items have been left behind.

Cancel Home Services and Utilities. After the closing, we will furnish you with a list of helpful contact numbers for discontinuing home services and utilities.

Be Prepared. At this final stage, we are prepared to offer our assistance in the event of any unexpected issues that may arise. Whether it’s a sudden breakdown of property appliances or a delay in the buyer’s loan approval, you can count on us to handle these situations in a prompt and hassle-free manner, drawing on our experience with similar challenges in the past.

Closing. The settlement statement, prepared by the closing agent, will provide a detailed summary of all the financial transactions involved in the process. After the buyer(s) sign the statement, you will also sign it along with the closing agent, verifying its accuracy. In case you are unable to attend the scheduled closing, we can make arrangements based on the circumstances and the notice received. If you are entitled to receive funds from the transaction, you can choose to have them wired electronically to your account at the financial institution or receive a check at the closing. At the closing, the seller should provide all property keys and other important information to the new purchaser to ensure a smooth transition.
