Closing to Keys To-Do List.

There is so much to do when buying a house.

 

ERA Real Solutions Realty has created a buyer’s closing checklist. The list of things you need from close to getting the key to your new home. At the most exciting part of the process, there are a lot of errands and things you must have in order. You can prepare for some of these ahead of time, but others are based on a schedule. Have patience. Your new home is waiting.

 

Here are the things you need to do to succeed:

The list of errands that are the steps to success.

 

  • Transfer Funds for Closing: Moving money makes the transaction more real.

  • Set up utilities to be transferred: We all need internet.
  • Confirm all contingencies are resolved: Not sure what this means, but your real estate agent can help.
