Moving In
The hard part is behind you, but there are a few more steps before you can move in to your new home or condominium:
6.1 Final Walk-Through
A few days before your closing, we will conduct a final walk-through to ensure everything is in order.
6.2 Utilities and Services
You will have to change any existing utilities and services of the property over to your name. Your real estate agent can assist in this process.
6.3 Closing 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!
