The hardest parts are over: You’ve found that perfect home in a haystack of listings, negotiated a deal you’re happy with, and secured a mortgage—and you’re now in the home stretch of the home-buying process.
Yes! The hard parts are over, you've found that perfect home, negotiated a price your pleased with, and talked with your CT real estate attorney about the process. One last step, the closing. What is a real estate closing? A real estate closing is the final step in the purchase process. There are a few key elements you need to know about before closing.
You can still be denied for a mortgage loan, even after you've been pre-approved by the lender. The pre-approval is not a commitment or guarantee. You've been conditionally qualified for loan. But you need to stay qualified all the way up to the closing. This is something to discuss with a Connecticut Real Estate Attorney that you can trust. The less your financial situation changes, the better.
In most cases, the check will be made out to the title or escrow company who is managing the process. The check should cover the exact amount of your closing costs.
This document will have a finalized list of fees you're responsible for paying on your closing. The cashier's check (mentioned above) should be made out for this amount.
Your lender may require this. They might even require you to pay the first year's premium in advance, by setting up an escrow account. The lender may contact your insurance agent before closing day, to verify the policy and coverage amount.
