Close of Escrow
Once everything is signed, you have officially sold your property.
Closing Day
You have made it to the final stretch. Before you can officially close, there are a few remaining items to confirm. We will work through that checklist with you to make sure nothing is overlooked and closing day goes exactly as it should.
Final Walk-Through Inspection
On the day of closing or the day before, the buyer will conduct a final walk-through to verify that the property is in the condition described in the Purchase Agreement, that no new issues have emerged, and that no seller belongings have been left behind.
Cancel Your Home Services and Utilities
After closing, we will provide you with a complete list of contacts for canceling your home services and utilities so that transition is handled smoothly.
Be Prepared for the Unexpected
Even at this stage, surprises can happen. A delayed loan, a last-minute appliance issue, or a documentation question can arise without warning. When they do, we are ready. We have seen these situations before and we know exactly how to resolve them efficiently and without unnecessary stress.
The Final Closing
After the walk-through, you, the buyer, and the closing agent will sign the settlement agreement, which documents all financial transactions and certifies their accuracy. If you cannot attend in person, arrangements can be made based on the circumstances. Funds can be wired directly to your financial institution, or a check can be issued at closing. Arrange to have all property keys and relevant materials ready for the buyer at this time.
Once everything is signed, the sale is complete.

Tips for Presenting Your Home Well
Start with a Deep Clean
First impressions are everything, and they begin the moment a buyer walks through the door. Before listing, give your home a thorough cleaning. Scrub bathrooms, wipe down every surface, mop floors, and clean rugs. If needed, bring in professionals to ensure the home is in the best possible condition.
Declutter Your Space
Buyers need to see the home, not the stuff inside it. When a space is clean and organized, buyers can picture their own lives there. Clutter pulls their focus in the wrong direction. A decluttered home communicates care, and that matters.
Handle Repairs Before You List
Take care of outstanding maintenance items before your property hits the market. When buyers walk into a well-maintained home, it builds immediate trust and confidence in the condition of the property.
