Closing on Your Rockport, TX Home

You’ve found the right property, made it through the offer and negotiation process, and worked through inspections, appraisal, and escrow. Now you’re in the final stretch toward homeownership. Closing day is an exciting milestone, but there are still a few important details to take care of before the keys are officially yours. Taking the time to complete these final steps helps ensure everything is in order and there are no last-minute surprises. Neli Spurrell will help you stay on top of the details and coordinate with the appropriate professionals throughout this final stage. From the final walkthrough to signing the closing documents, you’ll know what to expect as you prepare to officially make your Rockport, TX home your own. Before you celebrate, don’t forget to tie up these final loose ends:

Final Walkthrough

The final walkthrough is your opportunity to take one last look at the property before closing. It typically takes place shortly before closing, often the day before or the day of the closing. During the walkthrough, you’ll want to confirm that:

• The property is in the expected condition.
• Any agreed-upon repairs have been completed.
• Fixtures and items included with the purchase are still in place.
• No unexpected damage has occurred since your last visit.
• The home has been cleared of any items that should have been removed.

If something doesn’t look right, Neli can help communicate the issue to the appropriate parties before closing.

Home Services and Utilities

Before you move in, you’ll need to arrange for utilities and other home services to be transferred or activated in your name. These may include:

• Electricity
• Water
• Gas, if applicable
• Internet and cable services
• Trash and recycling services

Neli can provide a list of useful contacts and local service providers to help make the transition easier.

Be Prepared for the Unexpected

Even when everything appears to be on track, an unexpected issue can occasionally come up before closing. A repair may be needed, a document may require attention, or a last-minute detail may need to be resolved. Don’t panic if something doesn’t go exactly according to plan. Neli can help communicate with the appropriate professionals and work through the issue so you can keep moving toward closing.

Closing Day

Closing is the final step before the property officially becomes yours. At closing, the closing agent will provide a settlement statement outlining the financial details of the transaction. You and the seller will review and sign the documents required to complete the sale. If you’re financing your purchase, you’ll also sign the documents required by your lender. If you’re bringing funds to closing, the closing agent will provide instructions for delivering those funds, which may include a wire transfer or certified funds. Once the required documents have been signed and the transaction is completed, you’ll receive the keys and other important property information from the seller or closing agent.
