The Closing Process

Preparing for closing

Before closing, there are several important steps to take.  You should get a survey of the property done, and have a title searchconducted.  If the lender requires a termite inspection, you will also need to arrange for that.  Your real estate sales professional will assist you in all of this. 

A closing agent should be engaged to handle disbursement of funds, preparing and recording closing documents and all other closing activities. Again, your REALTOR® should be able to make a recommendation.
