TIPS FOR A SMOOTH CLOSING DAY
• Promptly complete and return escrow disclosure forms upon receipt (typically sent digitally) • OUT OF STATE? Let your escrow team know immediately to allow for enough time to deliver appropriate documents. • OUT OF THE COUNTRY? If yes, you must have all documents notarized at an American Consulate or Embassy. As an alternative, you may opt to appoint an- other individual as your attorney in fact. Let your agent and escrow team know. • Bring any keys you have to the house, garage door openers, etc and provide to your agent or escrow officer. To help prevent fraud and ensure a smooth transaction, state notary laws and title company policies require specific forms of identification at closing. Not having the correct, valid ID can delay your closing. Acceptable Forms of Identification: • Valid, government-issued photo ID such as driver’s license or state identification card You’ve made it through to the end, congrats! Let’s make sure you are prepared for closing day. Your escrow team and real estate agent will coordinate a closing date once documents are ready. Make sure you’re prepared by reading the below reminders and bringing the property identification.
• United States passport • United States military ID
The name on your ID must also match the name on your closing documents. If your name has recently changed or will change before closing, you’ll need to provide supporting documents. If you’re unsure whether your ID will be accepted, check with your real estate agent or escrow team right away.
