STEP 9 - CLOSING
"Closing" refers to the meeting where ownership
of the property is legally transferred to the
buyer. Your agent will be present during the
closing to help explain the process and forms to
you and make sure everything goes as planned. By
being present during the closing, he or she can
mediate any last minute issues that may arise.
In some states, an attorney is required and you
may wish to have one present.
As the seller, you will need to be prepared to
hand over any necessary documentation regarding
the property and, depending on the arrangements
made during negotiations, you may be required to
have done something specific in order to close.
Be sure to read all the documents and ask
questions. It is important you understand every
document you are signing.
