Breaking Down the Closing Process
Pre-Closing:
- Loan Approval: After your offer is accepted, securing a mortgage pre-approval is essential. This determines your borrowing capacity and strengthens your offer.
- Title Search and Insurance: Crossland Title Inc. conducts a thorough title search to uncover any potential ownership claims or liens on the property. We then issue title insurance, protecting you from unforeseen financial losses arising from such claims.
- Escrow: We act as a neutral third party, holding funds securely until the closing when they are dispersed to the appropriate parties.
- Closing Documents Review: You’ll receive a Closing Disclosure outlining the final loan terms, closing costs, and other important details. Carefully review these documents and ask us any questions you have.
Closing Day:
- Location: The closing typically takes place at our office, your lender’s office, or sometimes, at the property itself.
- Attendees: Expect to see the seller(s), buyer(s), real estate agents (if applicable), mortgage lender representative, closing agent (us!), and sometimes attorneys.
- The Process: We’ll meticulously review and explain each closing document ensuring you understand the terms. Once everything is finalized, signatures are collected, and funds are transferred.
- Congratulations, You’re a Homeowner!: Upon successful closing, you’ll receive the keys to your new home. We’ll handle all the necessary post-closing tasks like filing the deed with the county.
