STEP 33 – TO SELLING YOUR HOME – SCHEDULE THE CLOSING ON YOUR CALENDAR

April 29, 2020 By Andi Leave a Comment

We are in the home stretch! It’s essential to schedule the closing on your calendar and arrange to take the day off from work. Here are a few things to know about your closing date:

  • Some factors could cause it to be pushed back (if BOTH Buyer’s and Seller’s agree), such as a tight time frame for closing (anything 30 days or less), causing the mortgage company to need more time, etc.  However, for planning purposes right now, count on your closing date being the final date.
  • Closing generally takes place at a Title Company downtown. Closing takes about 1 hour, but if there is a problem, it could take up to 2 hours. For this reason, it’s recommended that you arrange to take time off from work. We can’t specify a specific time but can sometimes request either morning or afternoon. If you have a time preference, please let us know.
  • The closing start time won’t be scheduled until your mortgage officer gives us Clear to Close (CTC), meaning you’ve been ultimately approved for the loan without any conditions. This generally occurs 2-3 days before your closing date and is when we’ll be notified of the exact location and start time.
  • It’s best if you attend the closing in person; we always encourage clients to attend closing as it’s important you understand the closing documents (which will be emailed the day before your appointment typically) when your first mortgage payment is due, how/when you make your first mortgage payment, etc. All of that will be explained at the closing.
  • The day prior to closing, you will need to wire transfer your down payment and closing costs to the title company. The wire instructions for this transfer will come from the title/escrow company. Do not follow anyone else’s instructions unless it comes from the individual identified at the beginning of the transaction as the closer. There are many scams out there targeted at buyers where scammers will email you fake wire transfer instructions in an attempt to steal your money. Please view the wire fraud email we sent earlier.
  • Legally, you can’t move into the house until 9 pm the day the deal closes.
  • At the very end of closing, I’ll let you know what we will do to hand off your keys after 9pm.

Testimonials from Happy Homeowners

Andi is a very motivated and talented professional who considers all aspects of any project before quickly moving forward with precise action.
~ Teresa

Andi quickly discovered our parameters and made sure we didn't waste time looking at properties we wouldn't be interested in and stay within our budget.
~ Trulia Reviewer

Andi has a keen instinct for smart marketing and is very responsible to her clients. She is a committed Real Estate broker and has a very sunny disposition. No matter what your needs are, be it finding a home or selling your current real property, her years of experience in the field are a huge asset!
~ T.W.

It has been a pleasure working with Andi. She always has a smile and a positive attitude. She put a lot of time and effort into selling my house and I couldn't have happier with anyone else.
~J.M.

Selling a house is STRESSFUL. There are so many things to do and so many cracks to slip into. Thanks to Andi, there were no cracks with her timely checklists; she showed me that selling doesn’t have to be so stressful. A good selling experience is possible! She is the broker to keep in your back pocket.
~ Rose W.

Andi was always on our side working to make our house purchase as simple and successful as possible. The best part about working with her was that she was always more focused on answering our questions, giving us good advice, and finding homes that met our needs than she was on closing a deal. All throughout the negotiations and closing she was there quickly handling any issues that may have risen. We would recommend her to anyone. If the time ever comes when I will be looking for a new home, there isn't any question on who my Realtor will be!
