Title

Title Company

You will need to select a title company, which acts as a neutral third party holding all instruments necessary to the sale, including funds and deed. The title company will also research the complete recorded history of the property to insure that the title is free and clear of encumbrances by the date of closing and that all new encumbrances are properly added to the title – click here for a list of our personal favorites.

How to Hold Title

Consult with an attorney or tax adviser on the best way to hold title. Different methods of holding title have different legal, estate, and tax implications, especially when selling or upon death of the title holder.

Navigating the Closing Process

STEPS TO CLOSE

Contract to close covers every step from purchase to closing and helps buyers and sellers to comply with contractual obligations. Usually, it covers all items including Purchase Contract, Counter offers, Request for repairs, disclosures and inspection reports, as well as escrow documents and tasks.

Inspections

Once your offer is accepted by the seller, you’ll want to have professional inspectors evaluate your home. We can recommend which inspections your property will need and how to select a proper inspector.

Appraisal and Lending

Your lender will let you know if and when additional documents are needed to approve your loan application. They will send an appraiser out to the property. Appraisers are specialists in determining the value of properties based on a combination of square footage measurements, building costs, and recent sales of comparable properties. 

Insurance

Your lender will require that your new home be insured. Give me a call for my recommendations.

Final Inspection

A few days before you take over the property, we’ll do one last inspection – the “walk through” – to make sure everything is in order.

Utilities and Services

Closing Escrow

  • You will have to transfer the utilities and services of the house over to your own name, effective the day you take possession of the house.
  • When your transaction is nearly completed, the title company will provide you with a “closing statement” that details all of the financials of your home purchase. As the last step in the buying process, the title company will have you sign the final documents, including loan documents (“deeds of trust”). When everything is complete, the title company will record the transaction for you at the County Assessor’s Office, and you will become the official new owner.
