Closing the Sale

After all the negotiating is finalized, the offer is accepted, the seller certifications are accepted, and the legal documents are prepared, it is time to bring the property purchasing process to a close. The "closing" is sometimes conducted as a kind of ceremony, where all the interested parties gather together in a conference room, or even at the home, to finalize the legal agreements. Most of the time, though, the majority of the process is conducted as an administrative process between attorneys. In either case, the closing is managed by executing the following ten steps:

1) The offer is officially accepted, with all disclosure
     and contingencies clearly specified
2) All "subject tos" regarding the buyer's qualifications
     are satisfied
3) All inspections are complete and contingencies regarding
     the seller are removed
4) Seller provides disclosure statement and certification
     of contingency removal
5) Final buyer walk through is completed
6) Final negotiations are complete
7) Legal documents are prepared
8) Legal documents undergo final review
9) Proceeds are delivered to seller
10) Closing Statement and Deed are provided to buyer
