Selling Your Home

We hope you are excited about moving on to your next step, and we hope to make it as painless as possible for you. Please read the following information to know what to expect.

Prior to Closing

Homeowners Associations

If the property you are selling has a homeowners association, please provide the buyers or our office with the property manager's information as early as possible. Often the buyers must be approved in order to purchase the home.

Utilities and Other Services

Be sure to cancel or transfer service for your water, garbage, electricity, and internet services. Contact your local providers to arrange cancellations or transfers before your closing date.

Payoffs

We will need contact information for your current mortgage if the proceeds from this sale are paying it off. Be prepared to also sign an authorization letter to allow the mortgage company to speak with us.

Day of Closing

Closing Funds

If you are required to bring funds to sell your home, they must be wired, due to the high rate of fraud with personal and cashier's checks.

Identification

Please be sure to bring a valid photo ID to closing. This can be a driver's license or passport.

Time to Close

We try to schedule the seller to sign first to avoid having you wait on the buyer's loan documents. Please be aware that loan documents typically take between 45 minutes and one hour to sign, and you will need to wait for all documents to be completed before the transaction is closed.

Funding

Even if all has been completed (closing funds have arrived in our trust account and the documents have been signed by both parties), the deal may not be officially closed yet. Some lenders require additional approval to disburse, and that may mean a few more minutes or a few more hours.

Estimate Your Proceeds
