Key Steps to Take Before Closing on a Home

Before finalizing the purchase of a home, it’s important to follow a clear checklist. Start by making sure all contingencies—such as the inspection, appraisal, and financing—are fully resolved. You should also clear the title and secure title insurance to protect yourself from future ownership disputes.

Once you receive your final mortgage approval, review your closing disclosure carefully. Then complete a final walk-through to confirm that the property is in the agreed-upon condition. Lastly, gather all required documents so you’re prepared for closing day.
