Closing Day
Closing is near—but a few tasks remain. Confirm with your agent that all contingencies and paperwork are complete so the transfer proceeds smoothly.
Final Walk-Through Inspection
The buyer will perform a final walk-through to verify the property’s condition and that agreed-upon repairs are complete and no personal items remain.
Cancel Home Services and Utilities
After closing, we’ll provide a checklist of utilities and service providers to cancel or transfer.
Be Prepared
Unexpected issues can arise even late in escrow. If problems occur—loan delays or last-minute repairs—our team will manage them promptly to keep the transaction on track.
Closing
At closing, you, the buyer, and the closing agent sign the settlement documents and funds are disbursed. If you cannot attend, we’ll advise on arranging a remote or proxy closing. Ensure keys and pertinent property information are ready to transfer. Once signed, the property is sold.

Tips For Selling Your Home

Give Your House a Deep Clean
First impressions matter. Clean bathrooms, kitchens, floors, and rugs thoroughly—consider professional cleaning to present your property in the best light.

Declutter The Home
A clutter-free space helps buyers focus on features and imagine their belongings in the home. Remove personal items and organize surfaces to create a neutral, inviting environment.
Call a Handyman
Repair visible issues before listing. Buyers gain confidence when a property appears well maintained.
Paint the Walls
Not only is painting a great way to clean up the walls but making the overall color scheme neutral will increase the appeal to potential buyers, making it easier for them to envision their belongings in the house - get rid of any bright, outdated paint colors and go with a neutral palette throughout the house.
Increase Your Curb Appeal
The outside aesthetic of your home is just important as the inside. Give buyers a good feeling before they even open the front door. Landscaping, mulching, flowers, pressure washing the driveway and exterior of the home are all simple ways to increase the value of your home.
Stage Your Home
Staged homes tend to fill quickly because they feel homier - if you have neutral furniture that you can leave in the home, do it, otherwise consider a professional staging company.
Depersonalize Your Home
You want to leave a few nice, framed photos around the house to make the home appear inviting and lived in, but in general, removing your very personal items, such as family photos will let the potential buyers see their photos in those places, versus yours.
