Planning For Closing
Buyers Closing Day
Congratulations! You’ve contracted to purchase your new home. Closing on your new home is the final stage in the long and difficult process and New Frontier Title is here to help you reduce the stress during this exciting event in your life. The closing day is when the purchase documents are signed, funds are transferred and you take possession of the property.
Schedule Your Move
Check with the seller regarding utilities and coordinate with them to avoid a shutdown of electric and water service.
Take off enough time from work/school to allow for moving problems and issues.
Make sure to leave enough time in the day to take possession of the keys and meet your movers before the end of the day.
Plan an extra day or two at your current location if possible to give yourself ample time to transition to your new home.
Follow-Up with Your Closer
Check in with your closing agent to ensure that all paperwork is in order.
Make sure that you have your wiring instructions to send your transfers for closing day.
Verify the HUD/ALTA/CD with your closing agent and real estate agent to check for any errors or discrepancies.
Coordinate with Your Lender
Make sure your lender is ready to close, has all necessary documentation and will fulfill their obligations before your contract expires.
Your real estate agent professional should help with this, but be proactive; you are the responsible party.
