Confirm funding & coverage
Complete final lender conditions and confirm insurance effective dates. Arrange utilities around the agreed possession date and verify service requirements for the address.
Decision intelligence
From closing to ownership.
Resolve the details before the appointment, not at the signing table.
Review the final figures
Compare the final loan and settlement figures with the agreement and prior disclosures. Check credits, deposits, cash to close and recurring costs; ask the responsible professional to explain discrepancies.
Walk the property
Check agreed repairs, condition and included items. Raise unresolved concerns before settlement through the contractual process; a walkthrough is not a substitute for the earlier inspection.
Prepare for signing & access
Confirm acceptable identification, signing arrangements and any required funds directly with the settlement professional. Verify when keys, remotes, codes and possession transfer, especially if occupancy continues after closing.
Keep an ownership file
Retain settlement documents, warranties, inspection reports and service records securely. Update access credentials appropriately and establish a maintenance calendar and reserve plan.
