Completing the Deal Part I

Signing the Deal: Closing / Settlement / Escrow

It might seem as though once a purchase and sale agreement has been signed that the buying process is complete. Not only is it not over yet, but some of the most complex aspects of a real estate transaction now begin.

Once a contract for the purchase of a home has been accepted, a series of inspections and checks are typically required to satisfy buyers and lenders. REALTORS® can help buyers complete the transaction process by assisting with the many requirements found in a typical sale agreement. The REALTOR® also helps the buyer prepare for closing, that is, finalizing the sale.
