Loan Closings
Purchasing a home is a great investment. The closing is one of the most important parts of the process.
YOU'RE ALMOST DONE!
Closing day is the last step of the home or land buying process. Sometimes the closing is called the “settlement”. At closing, you can expect to see all of the terms and agreements between yourself and the sellers, on paper, ready to be signed. Once you have come to a mutual agreement on all of the specifics, you and any other parties participating in the loan transaction will sign the closing documents. Signing these documents means that you agree to have the loan funding distributed, and are now legally responsible for the purchased property and any loan that you have taken to cover the costs of the property.
