Closing on Your Home - Part 1

Our next several posts will discuss the various activities that must happen before you can close on a mortgage loan, and tells you what will happen at the closing meeting, including what types of documents you can expect to receive.

The mortgage loan closing (or settlement) is the meeting at which you take official ownership of the house. You’ll be required to sign many papers and pay your closing costs at the meeting in order to take possession of your new home. Technically, two separate closings occur at this time: the closing of your loan and the closing of the sale. Then, at the end of the meeting, you get the keys to your new home!

Although the closing process varies from state to state, and even within the same county or city, certain activities are standard. It is to your benefit to understand the many activities that need to occur before, during, and after the closing meeting and their costs.  Of course, as your Buyer's Agents, we will assist you every step of the way in the closing process!
