Buyers: What to expect at closing

In order to provide extraordinary customer service to you and your clients, the following information is to help create a smooth transaction and what is needed to proceed with closing. 

Signatures: Contract has all signatures in place - Seller, Buyer and both Agents:

Earnest Money is Cashed!  We can only hold checks for 3 business days!

Personal Checks are accepted - not to exceed an amount of $1,500: Typically closing costs exceed $1,500 and therefore a cashier's check or wire transfer will need to be obtained payable to First American Title.

Allow a minimum of One Hour for Closing!  Sometimes closings are shorter or longer depending on the transaction. If a buyer is obtaining a 1st & 2nd mortgage, two sets of documents have to be signed and 1 1/2 - 2 hours may be necessary.

Acceptable Notary Identification: A Driver's License or other government identification is required for notary purposes.

When the use of a Power of Attorney is Used: If a POA is being used by either spouse - we must have the original POA and be able to speak to the person giving the POA in order to ratify.

OUR GOAL IS TO PROVIDE SUPERIOR CUSTOMER SERVICE

AND MAKE YOUR CLOSING EXPERIENCE POSITIVE ON EVERY TRANSACTION.
