Final Walk-Through Inspection: A few days before you take possession of the property, we will visit the property together one last time. This final visit ensures that the property's condition meets your expectations compared to its condition when you made your offer. We will have a checklist for you to note any last minute details for the seller to attend to.

Home Services and Utilities: You will need to change the services and utilities into your name: We can provide you with a list of phone numbers to call the local utilities and services providers, to put everything under your name as of the date escrow will close.

If Things Get Complicated: Sometimes everything doesn't go according to plan. This is when you really need an experienced real estate agent. Maybe something doesn't work in the new house, or the seller can't move to their next home as scheduled; there are a lot of variables. We've been through this countless times and have a number of strategies and options to smooth out this transition as much as possible for you.

Close of Escrow: Within 24 to 48 hours of closing, the lender's attorney will provide you with a settlement statement or "HUD" that breaks down all of the financial costs involved in the purchase of your new home. Your attorney will go over this with you to ensure its accuracy. At the closing, the lender's attorney will have you sign the final documents, including loan documents ("deeds of trust"). After all documents have been signed by the buyer and seller, the lender's attorney will record the title documents at the Registry of Deeds. Congratulations! You are now a proud, new homeowner!

Keys: We will coordinate the delivery of your keys to coincide with the recording at the County Assessor's Office.

Feedback: A good agent knows there is always room for improvement, and will ask for your written feedback once you've had a chance to settle into your new home.
