Moving In

Some people pop champagne. Others just breathe a sigh of relief that the deal is finally closed. Either way, we’ve walked this path ourselves, buying properties, closing deals, and building a portfolio from the ground up, so we know exactly what still needs your attention before you get the keys.

Final Walk-Through Inspection

This is your last look before you own the place, and it matters. By now, every contingency in the Purchase Agreement should be satisfied and the seller’s belongings should be completely out. Most buyers schedule this walk-through the day before or the day of closing, giving you one final chance to confirm the home is exactly as promised. No surprises. No fine print catching up with you later.

Closing

Once you’re satisfied with the walk-through, it’s time to close. You, the seller, and the closing agent will sit down together to sign the settlement agreement, a clear, itemized record of every financial transaction tied to the sale. From there, you’ll sign your loan documents and deposit your remaining down payment and closing costs into escrow.

If you’re bringing funds to the table, you have two options: a certified bank check for the exact amount listed on your settlement statement, or a wire transfer straight to the escrow account. Either way, you’ll know exactly what’s expected, with no guesswork and no last-minute scrambling.

Once the paperwork is signed and the funds are settled, the deed gets recorded at the County Recorder’s office. That’s it. The property is officially yours.
