You've
found the Boston
Home of your dreams. The contract is signed, the mortgage is
approved. The next important step: the closing! Here are some
tips for ensuring your closing goes smoothly.
Don’t
be afraid to ask questions!
A
week before closing make sure to talk to the people representing you.
Make sure that they have all the info that they need from you.
Don't worry about bothering your loan officer or Boston real estate agent to
ensure everyone is on the same page. Ask whether you will need a
certified check, personal check, or if they need it wired. Depending
on the amount of your down-payment either of these options are
preferred.
Review
the documents in advance.
Another
great way to be prepared for your Boston
Home closing is to review the documents in advance. You can ask
the lender to provide them to you, many will do so automatically. By
taking a look at the documents, you’ll be prepared with any
questions you need to ask, prior to closing. Don't assume that all of
the information is correct either. Anticipate human error and double
check everything.
Take
the day off.
A
smooth closing may take less than 30 minutes, but, you won't know for
sure until it's done. There may be delays, especially if it is the
end of the month. Don't plan on doing the closing during your lunch
break. Take the day off to ensure you have plenty of time and are not
in a rush to get back to work.
If
you are still searching for that perfect Boston
Home, let a local expert help you out.
Buying
a home is an exciting and complex adventure. It can also be a very
time-consuming and costly one if you're not familiar with all aspects
of the process. So taking the time to learn about the process and
your options is critical to making the best informed choices in order
to achieve your own particular goals.
My
specialty is working closing with my clients as a consultant (not
just an “agent”) to provide the information and education
critical to make those informed choices—at every step throughout
the process. My comprehensive, high-quality services can save you
time and money, as well as make the experience more enjoyable and
less stressful. Please feel free to contact
me, I look forward to hearing from you soon!
