Closing Details
Owners.com Buyer Handbook
You're almost there! At this point, you should be just a few days from settlement
(also called closing) day. You will need to be in close contact with all the parties.
You will need to communicate with:
The Seller
The seller - Schedule the walk-through for the day before settlement and confirm time
and place of settlement.
The Lender
The lender - Be sure they have all the documentation they need and that you have met
all their requirements, confirm that the settlement is scheduled with the closing
department and get a list of any documents you will need to bring to settlement. Also,
you will want to check on the amount of money you need to bring to settlement.
The Escrow Officer
The title and escrow attorney/agent - confirm the date and time of settlement, ask
for a preliminary HUD-1
(settlement sheet) and other settlement documents 48 hours in advance of closing so
you can review the numbers and terms. Confirm the amount of money that you will have
to bring to settlement. Usually, this will have to be in the form of a certified check.
