Phoenix First Time Home Buyer Coffee Shop Talk with Anna Banana! Part 6

Phoenix First Time Home Buyer Coffee Shop Talk with Anna Banana! Part 6

Doesn't this moment just feel so sweet to you? It does for me. This is the last step to the home buying process; how time flies, right? Though, I'm sure you've been counting down the days to this moment! We're finally here: the final walkthrough and closing!

So how is the packing going? I know the sellers have moved out over the past couple of days, so this means we'll be doing the walk through through an empty home. I know, I know, you're anxious to move in already, but as your REALTOR®, it's highly suggested to do this walk through. We definitely need to check and double check to make sure the repairs have been made and the home is in good shape.

Let me quickly give you an idea of what we'll be doing during the walk through:

• Turn on light fixtures.
• Run water in all faucets, and look under the sink for leaks.
• Flush the toilets completely.
• Test all appliances, including lights and timers.
• Run the garbage disposal and exhaust fans.
• Test the heating/air conditioning unit.
• Check your garage door openers.
• Open and close all doors, including closets and storage areas.
• Open and close all windows.
• Inspect all ceilings, walls, and floors.
• Make sure all debris is removed from the home.

Easy, right? 

Once we've taken our time with the walk through and made sure everything is up to par, then we'll move on to the final step: CLOSING.

Closing, much like the escrow process, can get pretty confusing, too. No worries, your escrow agent is an expert at explaining what everything means and answering your questions. I will be there as well for moral and expert advice as needed.

During closing, you'll be going over all of the fees to be paid, filling out & signing documents and paperwork of which I'll explain in further detail as we move along in the process.

If you'd like to know right now exactly what's involved and discussed in the closing process please read my book 8 Secrets to Make Buying Your First Home Easy, which you can download straight to your inbox for free!

And then, when everything is settled, and the deed is recorded the keys will be handed to you. CONGRATULATIONS! You are now the proud owner of your first home, and I couldn't be any happier for you!!

Good luck on your move, and remember to keep me informed as to how you're doing. I am always here for you -- even after you've moved in -- so if you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to give me a call. I will be keeping in touch with you, so don't worry if you forget. I understand this is an incredibly exciting time in your life!

Thank you again for allowing me to help you and guide you through the first-time home buying process. Let's get coffee again once you're all settled in. :)
