Closing Day
If you have come this far, then 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.
More of a formality than anything else, the final inspection takes place a day before, or the day of the closing. You will visit the property to verify that all is in working order, everything is the same as when you last viewed the property, that there are no extra items left behind, and that everything included in your purchase is still at the property.
Home Services and Utilities.
I will provide a list of useful numbers for the activation of home services and utilities after the closing occurs.
Be Prepared.
I am ready to assist you should an unforeseen glitch pop up, even at this last stage. Something at the property breaks down, or some other minor detail – no need to worry. I have encountered these problems before so we know how to handle them efficiently and in a stress-free manor.
Closing.
Arrange to review and sign all documents with your lawyer a few days before closing. During this time you should also deliver any necessary funds to close. The funds must be certified and be made payable to your lawyer in trust. It’s important to get information on any payments which may be due after closing including property taxes, maintenance fees etc.. You will then receive your keys on the closing date!
