You found your home, made it through the due diligence period, and now it’s time to head to closing. The deal closes when both parties “come together” to sign the closing documents. This can be done at the same time, different dates, or even mailed to a buyer and/or seller if they live out of town or are traveling. At this point, ownership is legally transferred. Your agent will be present at the closing to make sure all goes according to plan and mediate any last minute surprises…which we try to prevent!

It’s important to remember to stay in control of your finances when buying a home. Lenders monitor your credit up to the end of the transaction.

As we get close to closing, it is important to stay in touch with your agent,  lender, and title company. All parties will be working hard to get final paperwork together and prepared for closing. Once all paperwork is finalized, the title company will send a HUD-1 statement. This will show you exactly what your closing costs will be and allow you to prepare for funding your home (downpayment, closing costs, ect.) 24 hours prior to closing, we will schedule a walk through to make sure everything is good to go.

Depending on the terms in the contract, you’re typically handed the keys to your new home at closing.

“Thanks for all of your help. I’m sure had it not been for the help of you and your colleagues, this purchase would have devolved into a disaster. My partners and I are thankful we bought through you.” ~Corey I., Purchased in North Central Austin
