WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOUR PROPERTY GOES UNDER AGREEMENT

Posted by pixelpaper

(Keep your copy of the signed agreement in a safe place in order that you may refer to it with questions)

  1. Apply for the mortgage WITHIN 10 days.
  2. Schedule the requested inspections WITHIN the time allotted in the contract. The inspections must be completed and any requests for corrections must be given to the Seller within the # of days specified in the contract for inspections.
  3. Buyers must pay for the inspection before or at the time it is being done. We recommend that the Buyers attend the inspections. We do not attend.
  4. The Mortgage Co will schedule an appraisal. Keep your Agent informed about the day and time.
  5. After you have received mortgage commitment and all issues from the home inspection have been settled, choose a Title Co. or an Attorney to do the title work. Your Agent can offer suggestions if needed.
  6. Secure home insurance. You will need at least a binder from the Insurance Co. prior to settlement. The insurance period is usually for one year.
  7. Obtain a moving permit if required.
  8. Prepare to have the utilities put into your name by the date of closing.
  9. Do a pre settlement walkthrough to inspect the property and insure that it is in the same condition as it was when you entered into the Agreement of Sale.
  10. Bring proof of insurance, drivers license or other ID, and certified check for closing costs if needed, to closing.
