Prior to Closing

Final Walk through Inspection: Quite a few buyers like to do a "walk-through" prior to signing the final loan and purchase documents. Be sure that the property is in a similar condition to when the buyers first looked at the house.

Home Services and Utilities: A few days prior to the close of escrow call all your utility companies and tell them you're moving. It's polite to notify them that new buyers are moving in and will be calling to establish service. This will keep the utility companies from turning service off completely.

Close of Escrow: This is the last step in the selling process. The title company will prepare a closing statement showing what loan(s) you are paying off on the property, pro-rated property taxes, fees for escrow and title and a deed for you to grant title to the buyer. IMPORTANT: Prior to the close of escrow make arrangements with the escrow officer as to how to disperse funds to you. If you aren't going to be in town to pick up a check have the title company "wire transfer" the funds directly to your bank account. There is a minor fee for this; however it's better than waiting on the check to arrive in the mail!
