Buying a Home Step 26: Attend closing
/Attending a home closing in Washington State can be an exciting and nerve-wracking experience. During the closing, you will finalize the purchase of your new home and make it official. Here are the key things you can expect to happen at closing:
Reviewing and signing documents: You will review and sign various legal and financial documents, including the settlement statement, mortgage note, and deed of trust.
Paying closing costs: You will pay any closing costs that are due, including fees for the title search, appraisal, and loan origination.
You will have options for signing when closing on your home. Some documents may be able to be signed electronically, you can sign all documents in person in an office, and in some cases, you can also have a notary deliver documents to you to sign in a location of your choice.
Handing over the keys: Once all the paperwork is signed and funds have been transferred, you will receive the keys to your new home.
It's important to note that the closing process can vary depending on the specific circumstances of your home purchase. Be sure to ask your real estate agent or lender any questions you may have beforehand to ensure a smooth and successful closing.
