Close of Escrow

Closing Day

You're almost at the finish line. While it's an exciting milestone, there are still a few final steps to complete before the sale is officially finalized. Our team will work closely with you to ensure everything is in order for a smooth and efficient closing process.

Final Walk-Through Inspection

The buyer will typically complete a final walk-through shortly before closing, often within a day or two of the closing date. This step confirms that the property is in the agreed-upon condition, that any negotiated repairs have been completed, and that no personal items have been left behind.

Cancel Home Services and Utilities

Following the closing, you will need to arrange for the cancellation or transfer of utilities and home services. We can provide guidance to help make this transition as simple as possible.

Be Prepared

Even in the final stages, unexpected issues can occasionally arise. Delays in financing or last-minute repair concerns may occur, but with the right support, these situations can often be resolved. We will help guide you through any challenges and work toward keeping the transaction on track.

Closing

At closing, all parties will sign the necessary documents, including the settlement statement outlining the financial details of the transaction. If you are unable to attend in person, alternative arrangements may be available depending on the circumstances.

Any proceeds from the sale are typically distributed according to the closing instructions, often via wire transfer or other approved methods. Be sure to provide all keys, access devices, and relevant property information as part of the handoff. Once all documents are completed and recorded, the sale is finalized and ownership is officially transferred.
