Everything There Is To Know About A Real Estate Closing?

[Dustin Ruhl]

A real estate closing is more of a process than a step in the buying process. A “closing” can also be called “escrow”, “completion” or “settlement”. This is the last bit of work in home buying process.

The seller and the buyer have agreed on a deal and now the closing process starts. You must first put money into an escrow account. A third neutral party will handle the escrow account money to protect the buyer and the seller. Then a whole list of things needs to happen:

A title search needs to be conducted.

Insurance for the new owner needs to be purchased.

A closing agent needs to be obtained.

A home inspection needs to be performed. At this time if any issues a rise a new agreement must be reached by both parties.

On the date of closing you will sign all paperwork and transfer ownership.

There are at least 12 steps in the home “closing” process.
