Basics of Selling a Home
What happens at the closing?
It's time to get your money. You have a right to receive a copy of the estimated closing costs two days before closing. Have your attorney check it for accuracy.
Check with the closing agent at the title company before the closing date to be sure all necessary paperwork has been done.
Your real estate agent will be at the closing to collect her or his commission check from the closing agent.
If you have a mortgage, your mortgage will be paid off and you will receive a check for the remainder of the selling price, minus the listing agent's commission and any other costs you agreed to pay.
