Introduction
The closing process is the final step in your home-buying journey, where ownership of the property is officially transferred to you. While it’s an exciting milestone, it can also be overwhelming if you’re unprepared. In this blog post, we’ll walk you through what to expect on closing day, how to prepare, and tips to avoid last-minute surprises.

What is the Closing Process?
Closing is the process of finalizing your mortgage and transferring ownership of the property. It involves signing a lot of paperwork, paying closing costs, and receiving the keys to your new home.

Steps to Prepare for Closing

  1. Review Your Closing Disclosure: This document outlines your loan terms, monthly payments, and closing costs. Compare it to your Loan Estimate to ensure accuracy.
  2. Conduct a Final Walkthrough: Inspect the property to ensure it’s in the agreed-upon condition.
  3. Gather Required Documents: Bring a government-issued ID, proof of insurance, and any other documents requested by your lender.
  4. Prepare for Closing Costs: Be ready to pay fees such as title insurance, attorney fees, and prepaid taxes.

What Happens on Closing Day?

  • Sign Documents: You’ll sign the mortgage note, deed of trust, and other legal documents.
  • Pay Closing Costs: These can range from 2% to 5% of the loan amount.
  • Receive the Keys: Once everything is finalized, you’ll get the keys to your new home!

Tips to Avoid Last-Minute Surprises

  • Ask Questions: Don’t hesitate to ask your lender or real estate agent for clarification.
  • Double-Check Documents: Ensure all details are correct before signing.
  • Plan Ahead: Schedule closing day at a time that allows you to focus without rushing.
