Final Walk-Through Inspection:
A few days before the buyer closes
on your property, they will visit
it one last time. This final inspection
is to ensure that the property’s
condition meets the buyer’s
expectations compared to its condition
when they made their offer. During
this final inspection you will have
the opportunity to “sign-off”
on the property's condition to document
that you have transferred the property
in satisfactory condition.
Canceling Home Services and
Utilities: We can provide
you with a list of phone numbers to
call local utilities and services
so that they can terminate your service
as of the date escrow will close.
For the buyers’ convenience,
we will suggest they initiate service
as of that same date.
If Things Get Complicated:
Sometimes things don’t go according
to plan. This is when you really need
an experienced real estate agent.
Maybe something in the house broke
at the last moment, or the buyer’s
loan won’t close on schedule;
there are a lot of variables. We’ve
been through this numerous times and
have various strategies and options
to help make your transaction as smooth
as possible for you.
Close of Escrow:
When your transaction is nearly completed,
the title company will provide you
with a “closing statement”
– a summary of all the financial
details (pro-rations on property taxes
and all the transaction-related costs.)
We will go over this with you to be
sure it is accurate. Prior to the
planned closing date, the title company
will have you sign the final documents.
When everything is complete, the title
company will record the transaction
for you and the buyer at the County
Recorder’s Office, you will
receive your proceeds from the transaction,
and the buyer will become the official
new owner.
Keys: We will coordinate
the delivery of your keys to the buyer
once the deed has been recorded at
the County Assessor’s Office
or according to any other contractual
agreements you’ve made.
Feedback: A good
agent knows there is always room for
improvement, so we will ask for your
written feedback on our service and
performance.
