Close of Escrow

Closing Day

If you have made it this far, it is almost time to celebrate, but there are still a few more items to check off until your property is officially sold. At HARBOURDAVIS, we hold ourselves to the highest standards in everything we do, so check with your agent to clarify all items are in order and let us tie up these loose ends. We are here to deliver a seamless, stress-free closing day built on the same commitment to excellence you have relied on from the very beginning.

Final Walk-Through Inspection

Either the day of closing, or the day before, the buyer will complete the final walk-through inspection. This confirms the property remains in the condition outlined in the Purchase Agreement, that no new issues have surfaced, and that no items have been left behind. It is one more way we listen, adapt, and deliver for our partners at every stage of the process.

Cancel Home Services and Utilities

Before closing, we will provide a helpful list of numbers for canceling home services and utilities, because taking care of the details is part of what we stand for.

Be Prepared

Even during this last stage, unexpected issues may arise, but do not worry. We have encountered these glitches before, and we know how to handle them effectively, getting you back on track in a timely, stress-free manner. We understand what our clients truly need and expect, and that experience matters most when surprises may occur. If the buyer's loan does not process on time, or an appliance on the property breaks, we know exactly what to do.

Closing

After the final inspection, you, the buyer, and the closing agent will sign the settlement agreement, detailing the financial transactions enacted throughout the process to certify accuracy. If you are unable to attend closing, remote notary arrangements can be made depending on the circumstances and notice given to all parties. If you are receiving funds, you can have them wired electronically to an account at your financial institution, or the buyer can issue a check at closing. Be sure to arrange to have all property keys and pertinent information ready for the buyer at closing. Once everything is signed, your property is officially sold, and another partnership built on trust comes full circle.
