Real estate deals are considered as the most stressful fate in selling. And after a long procedural formality, closing occurs by signing a document to identify you as the new owner. However, a nerve-cracking pile of documents must be signed before those closing fateful days arrive. Actually, there’s a lot of confusion that may twirl your mind when that home-buying closing process arrives. Just like, who pays the closing cost, and how much is the cost.?
Closing a deal of the house which has another term as settlement will be done when the buyer and the seller synchronously exchange all documents and funds required to close the transaction. This is where a stack of legal documents must be signed by the buyer concerning the transfer of property. However, it is very important for the buyer to get all the closing documents and reviews all the contents stipulated therein. In this way, it is a saving of time reviewing the written record before it will be signed and besides the buyer can address any inquiry if any wrong information has been added.
Regarding the place where the signing has to be done, most signing scenes can be done at the office of the settlement agent if the buying situation is in a loan manner. However, if the buying involves cold cash, it can be done at the company’s agent office or the lender’s office or any convenient places may take it. More importantly, it is very essential that the home buyer, the seller and a lawyer will attend the signing of the closing events.
As far as law is concerned, the lender will send a closing disclosure notice three days before the closing date schedule. This notification will be done in order to give ample time for the buyer to review or go over the closing documents before it is signed. In this way, the buyer can write down any questions and relay any doubt or issues regarding the closing and refer it to his legal counsel. Reviewing all the content of these closing documents is very essential for the buyer in order for him to confirm that all details are accurate. These documents will include terms of loan and the final closing cost that will be owed. The buyer should have a cashier’s checks ready for the transfer of payment if the closing is to be owed.
At the closing events, the buyer will bring along with him the closing disclosure notice, to which he can compare it with other documents if question arises, cashier checks or other proof of payments for the closing cost, proof of insurance, bank documents and the signed document of your co-borrower.
There are lots of financial and legal documents needed to close a deal, but most importantly, the settlement statement is the most essential. Other remarkable documents that are needed to sign are the following: promissory note that indicates terms and conditions of the payment, monthly payment letter which indicates your mortgage payment and the abstract of the home closing title which includes all the related documents of the title. Indeed, buying a home is a major financial commitment and there’s no average time to close on a dealing.
