Get Ready To Close
the Deal
Utilities
It is wise to schedule ALL utilities to be turned on by closing. It is not difficult to transfer them into your name as long as the service has not been terminated. Read the last page of the real estate Sellers’ disclosure and look up the names of the utility companies that the seller has used. Once you have the names, a quick online search should get you where you need to go.
Final Walkthrough
This is the last visit you will schedule to see the property right before closing the deal. This is an opportunity to verify the conditions of the property as it should be quite similar than the first time you saw the property. If you requested repairs, this is an opportunity to check that all repairs have been satisfied. Also, if the house is not tidy enough, you can hire a professional cleaning service.
Closing Date
A buyer should bring a valid form of identification, proof of funds, and any other necessary documentation to a closing meeting. Before signing the mortgage note and deed, they will be asked to carefully read the closing disclosure, verifying the loan estimate and settlement statement.
