Your home sale is completed on closing day when ownership is officially transferred to the buyer. As closing day approaches, there are a number of tasks to complete.
Your chosen real estate professional should guide you through the closing process to help you:
✔ Hire a legal professional to represent your interests and manage closing documentation.
✔ Satisfy any conditions you may be subject to in the offer.
✔ Arrange and schedule your move requirements or obtain estimates from reputable moving companies and book as far in advance as possible.
✔ Contact utilities to have meters read on closing day and coordinate cancellations, transfers and change-of-address notification for medical, financial and contracted services, licenses, subscriptions, memberships, and personal mail.
✔ Organize the connection of services and utilities at your new home.
✔ Coordinate with your lawyer the receipt of compensation for prepaid utility expenses and the payment of real estate and legal fees from the proceeds of the sale.
✔ Meet with your lawyer to sign required closing documentation to discharge any mortgages, transfer the deed, and to provide the keys for the buyer.
