The key to a good deal is a good closing

On Behalf of | Sep 18, 2014 | Real Estate Transactions

By the time you’re starting to prepare for the real estate closing on the home of your choice, things are probably getting pretty exciting. The closing date is usually the day when ownership of the home is officially transferred, and the keys are dropped into your hand. It can certainly be a thrilling time for any home buyer, but there is plenty of work to do leading up to the big day.

For instance, making sure that the title to the property is clear of any issues is one of the most important parts of any real estate transaction. Title issues can bog down the sale of a piece of property, which can frustrate both the buyer and the seller. Detecting any issues early on in the process is the best way to get things resolved prior to closing.

One of the other pitfalls to avoid is a disclosure of information close to the closing date that has a significant impact on the decision to buy. No one likes to be taken by surprise with bad news, and this type of bad news at the real estate closing can throw the entire deal out of whack.
