What To Expect When You're Closing in Tucumcari
The escrow agent is careful to assure that all terms and conditions of the seller's and buyer's contract are performed prior to the sale being finalized. This includes securing payments and records, filling out required forms, and seeking out the release documents for any loans or liens that are to be paid with the transaction, assuring you have a clean title to your home before the purchase price is fully paid.
These are the pieces of paperwork that escrow agents usually compile:
- Title insurance policies
- Terms of sale and any seller-assisted financing
- Requests for payment for various services to be paid out of escrow funds
- Loan documents
- Tax statements
- Fire and other insurance policies
You're ready to close when all parts are complete in escrow process. All expenses like title insurance, inspections and real estate commissions are paid. You'll then get the title to the house and the title insurance gets issued as agreed upon in the escrow instructions.
