How sellers can assists for an efficient closing.

Your home sale is almost complete; the only thing left is the closing period. Inconvenient delays in the selling process as a result of a problematic closing are usually avoidable. Here are some tips on how the seller can help ensure a smooth closing.

1. Fix the problem. Don’t hit a snag in the final walk through, repair any defects or damage that you agreed to fix during the inspection process. Also, remember to maintain the condition of your home from the time of inspection to the final closing date. Otherwise there may be delays or financial concessions.
2. Be aware of any closing costs you are responsible for and bring a certified check.It is your responsibility to be aware of deadlines! There are often timelines to accept or reject requests and specified dates within the contract.
3. Present the title and be open about any liens, or unpaid HOA fees, they will be apparent in the title search anyway and there may be a solution your lender and agent can devise. 
4. Bring a photo id to the closing. You will be signing official documents at the closing, so it is imperative to bring your license and it’s always a good idea to have backup. 
5. Bring house keys, garage door openers, alarm codes and any appliance instructions or warranties you have for the new owners. As a kind gesture, it is nice to provide the new owners with maintenance contacts, such as phone numbers for landscapers, handyman, babysitters, pool services etc.
