Close of Escrow

Once everything is signed, you have officially sold your property.

Closing Day

You made it. The finish line is in sight, but a handful of details still need to be locked down before your property sale is official. Your agent will walk through everything with you to make sure every box is checked. We handle the details so closing day is seamless, straightforward, and stress-free.

Final Walk-Through Inspection

The day before or the day of closing, the buyer will complete a final walk-through. This confirms the property matches the condition outlined in the Purchase Agreement, no new issues have popped up, and nothing has been left behind. Simple, but essential.

Cancel Home Services and Utilities

Once escrow closes, we hand you a straightforward list of contacts to cancel your home services and utilities. No guesswork, no scrambling.

Be Prepared

Even at this stage, curveballs happen. A loan hits a delay. An appliance decides to quit at the worst possible time. We have seen it all, and we know exactly how to handle it. Our experience means these hiccups get resolved fast, so you stay on schedule and stress-free.

Closing

After the final walk-through, you, the buyer, and the closing agent sign the settlement agreement, confirming every financial detail of the transaction is accurate. Can’t make it in person? We will coordinate arrangements based on your circumstances and proper notice to all parties involved. Receiving funds is simple too: wire transfer to your financial institution, or a check issued directly by the buyer at closing. Just make sure all keys and property information are ready for the buyer at closing time. Once the paperwork is signed, your property is officially sold.

Tips For Selling

Deep Clean icon

Give Your House a Deep Clean

First impressions matter. Before listing, give your home a thorough deep clean, toilets, surfaces, floors, rugs, bathrooms, all of it. Consider bringing in professionals to get your home into its best possible shape.

Declutter icon

Declutter The Home

A clutter-free home lets buyers focus on the space itself, not the piles of mail or laundry. Buyers want to picture their own belongings in your home, not get distracted by someone else's mess. Decluttering and organizing goes a long way toward making a strong impression.

Handyman icon

Call a Handyman

Take care of any needed repairs before you list. Buyers walking through a well-maintained home feel more confident in the purchase.

paint can icon

Paint the Walls

A fresh coat of paint in a neutral color scheme makes it easier for buyers to picture their own belongings in the space. Swap out any bright or outdated colors for something more universally appealing.

Curb Appeal icon

Increase Your Curb Appeal

The outside of your home matters just as much as the inside. Landscaping, fresh mulch, flowers, and pressure-washing the driveway and exterior are simple ways to make a strong first impression, and boost perceived value.

Stage Your Home icon

Stage Your Home

Staged homes tend to sell faster because they feel more livable. If you have neutral furniture you can leave behind, use it. Otherwise, consider hiring a professional staging company.

Depersonalize icon

Depersonalize Your Home

A few nice framed photos can keep a home feeling warm and lived-in, but for the most part, removing personal items like family photos helps buyers picture their own life in the space, rather than yours.
