Closing Preparing For Your Move
Closing
The closing usually occurs at the attorney’s office within a couple days of receiving the “clear to close”, and entails signing of documentation and filing of information into public record. Always bring official identification and a money order or certified check for any down payment or escrow items required. Personal checks or cash are normally not acceptable. The transfer of money occurs at or shortly after and the property becomes officially yours.
The attorney/closing agent will hand you the keys to your new home!
Preparing For Your Move
The moving process can be stressful, and it is a lot of work. Even if you hire a professional moving company, you will have your hands full planning, preparing, and making sure all of the appropriate changes happen prior to your move.
