Frisco TX First Time Home Buyer Series - What to Expect at the Closing Table (Part 10)



**************************************************************************************

We have come to the final part of this Frisco TX First time home buyer series. It is the closing day. It is full of excitement.

Prior to this, you should have seen your HUD Financial document paper to see exactly how much you are required to bring to closing. I would also strongly recommend that you ask for the truth-in-lending disclosure if you have not seen it.

Prepare a cashier's check made payable to the Title company. The correct amount is on your HUD financial settlement paper. Prior to withdrawing your money, do make sure that there will be no hiccups on the day you need the funds.

On closing day, remember to bring your identification cards. A valid driver's license will be sufficient.

A good title company will explain each document you are signing to. Expect to sign alot of documents that day (1 inch thick). Ask any questions you are not sure of. This "signing" process is called CLOSING.

After both parties (buyers and sellers) sign the documents, the title company will send documents back to lender for final review. Some lenders re-verify employment or credit score before releasing the funds. Hence, do not buy furniture or appliances on credit the weekend before closing. This may cause your credit score and credit ratio to change and differ from loan application and loan approval time. Wait until you close on the property to do that. As the lender releases the funds to the title company, this process is called FUNDING.


You have successfully CLOSED and FUNDED on your home. Essentially, the home is now yours.

Possession of your new home depends on how you negotiated at the beginning. Some sellers do a seller's temporary lease while some sellers give possession of the property upon closing and funding. It is a negotiation between buyers and sellers.

Congratulations, you are now a proud owner of your first time home. This also completes our Frisco TX First Time Home Buyer Series.

 

Last Notes: Prior to closing, remember to have utilities switched in your name on closing date.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Read about what our satisfied clients have to say:

When she arrived for our appointment, we went through the normal preliminary procedures and all was fine. Then she surprised us. She had already done most of the work and only needed to take a few pictures of the inside and determine the price that we would be comfortable asking. She also spent a great deal of time explaining to us how the whole sales process work and what we could expect.

Eric & Tomoko Quere, Plano TX

 

Ultimately, Loreena introduced us to the house we bought--it was not one we found from our own hours of searching web listings--based on the the comments we had made while we visited these different homes. This is a testimony to her ability to listen well and to work proactively on our behalf.

Jenn & Glen Miller, Denton TX

We were completely impressed with Loreena. She helped us find and buy a home in Frisco. We have very high expectations from a realtor and she surpassed them. Knows her market extremely well, not just the technical market pricing data, but the nuances of all the neighborhoods as well. One of the most responsive and professional persons I've met in my entire business career.

Ruth & Jerry Meek, Frisco TX

I just want to thank you again for your help in selling our house. In this tough economy and market, I really didn't expect to get an offer. But you counseled me so well in pricing the house to sell and yet not letting me accept an offer that was too low. I believe we got the best deal we could have. I was so pleased and surprised with what we walked away with.

Sally & Phillip Barnard, Frisco TX
