If you are making a big purchase this year, one of your best choices might be in real estate!
What are the secrets to a smooth closing? Here are 4 secrets.
Secret #1: Hire a lawyer early! By hiring a lawyer in the early stages you will be guided through the process without surprises.
Secret #2: Advance “Clean Up”. When you hire early the attorney can “clean up” in advance any issues that may be disclosed on a title search.
Secret #3: Freeze your well-organized finances. Before buying or selling, have your finances in order. If you are buying home, don’t go on any new spending sprees—credit bureaus do not look kindly on changes in your finances at closing time. Discuss with your real estate lawyer how to make your finances shine, including pay stubs, bank account and stock information, and more.
Secret #4: Plan your timeframe. It is important to schedule sufficient time to clean out those items that are stored in your attic or garage. Pre-pack those items that you will not be needing immediately such as seaonsal items including clothing and decorations. Interview moving companies to determine their flexibility in moving schedules. Plan your time well in advance and make sure that your real estate attorney is aware of your timeline. This helps everyone to communicate clearly and get everything done in a timely manner.
