5 Steps of the Closing Process
Clear Title helps both buyers and sellers with their real estate closings and is the only title company in the area owned by a local Board Certified Real Estate Attorney.
The steps of a closing are:
Step 1) Delivery of the Purchase Agreement – the process begins with delivery of the Purchase Agreement sent to us by email/fax or hand delivery.
Step 2) Title Search and Title Insurance – the title search is ordered and Clear Title prepares the title insurance commitment. The lender relies on the commitment to make certain the seller (or borrow in a refinance) owns the property.
Step 3) Documentation Preparation – deed, mortgage, and other loan documents are prepared. Payoffs of outstanding mortgages are obtained and a closing statement is completed.
Step 4) Closing Day – the paperwork is properly signed and the new owner finally gets the keys.
Step 5) After Closing – all funds are released, paperwork is delivered, documents are recorded, and the title policy is issued.
