When I decided to stop renting and purchase my first home, it was a scary process with a lot of unknowns! I was fortunate enough to have been able to work with Jean on this first purchase. She explained everything and eased my worries throughout the process. A few years later I became a loan originator and have had the opportunity to continue to work with Jean. It is nice to have a great Realtor to help my own clients!

Closing or Settlement >A Successful Closing
The closing table is where buyer and seller can celebrate the final stage of a successful home sales transaction. On this happy occasion, you sign the closing papers, trade keys, and wish one another well. It is to everyone's advantage to prepare for the closing such that all the details are worked out in advance.
As the home seller, how can you help ensure that your closing is a relaxed, cooperative event? First, enlist your real estate agent's help to ensure that all issues are resolved ahead of time. Repairs should be completed, agreements kept, the house broom-clean and ready for the new owners to move in. The atmosphere doesn't need to become adversarial, and minor upsets should not threaten the entire transaction. If you anticipate a problem, no matter how minor it may seem, be sure to communicate the situation to your real estate agent in advance, so that it can be resolved before the final closing date.
