"The closing is getting scheduled. The buyer is now kind of figuring out what all they have to do and what they're prepared for and what they need to expect at the closing. Yeah, I think the key for buyers as that exciting day comes is making sure they’ve reviewed the documents that the lender has provided. They understand the Loan program assuming they're getting a mortgage. They understand the terms of the settlement statement. But pivoting back to the property, you know, do we have any outstanding issues on the purchase agreement that haven't been resolved has the seller cleared off all their requirements or anything that showed up on the title commitment because the buyer will get a copy of that and just where are we kind of a State of the Union right before closing to say do I understand my side of it? But is the seller ready to actually close and move? I mean are we there so that there are no surprises and I'm surprised how often buyers don't do a day before or day of walk-through right at the property. Right? We've got a seller that has assured them that yeah, we're gonna hand the keys to you over at the closing and everybody walks out. We've actually received phone calls once in a while where the buyer says. Hey I got to the house and the sellers stuff is all there. Right? Right. Exactly. Well, we're a table funded state. So things happen in real time and escrow States, that's more common, but that shocks me as well. So are walking into the closing? What is the title need? What is the buyer need to have similar to the seller? You need current ID, right any documentation that we the lender or another party had asked for, you know during the closing or subject to the closing and then the documents there that the buyer is going to sign much more than the seller.
So your hand exercises ahead of time right the signatures from a hundred and some pages to you know, at least 50 typically. It's funny to watch how the signatures go like that so they get this beautiful all the cursive and all and by the end it's like just some serial killer signature trying to get through this thing. So expect to sign a bunch of documents, you're gonna sign the note the more the full lender closing package a full closing package from the title company that include the settlement statement a bunch of disclosures some documents that are required for each County and municipality to transfer the property to apply Homestead if you're doing that those types of things."
