‘Twas the night before closing, a moment so near,
The paperwork stacked, anticipation sincere.
The documents were placed on the table with care,
In hopes that the settlement soon would be there.
As the final days of 2023 draw near, Continental Title Company extends a warm embrace to all homeowners-to-be. If the dream of owning a home in the New Year is taking center stage in your thoughts, we’d love to be your go-to for title and settlement services!
When your countdown to closing unfolds, we’ll help you channel your inner Santa when it comes to making a list and checking it twice. To help prepare for the joyous chapter that awaits, we’ve crafted the following checklist to guide buyers through the night before closing:
Gather Your Essential Documents:
- A valid photo ID or driver’s license: Ensure this is readily available at the settlement table; it’s a key ingredient for a smooth transaction.
- Closing Disclosure form: You’ll receive this document at least three days before closing day. Take some time to review it; familiarity will bring confidence.
- Closing costs: Be prepared to bring the finalized closing cost amount in the form of a cashier’s check or have the funds wired on closing day. For those choosing a wire transfer, exercise extreme caution regarding any late-breaking emails containing changes to wiring instructions; it could be a scam. If you receive last-minute changes, promptly alert your real estate or settlement agent using a direct phone number from their business card or website.
