Simple Steps for a Smoother Closing

Send the Full Contract

Send the signed contract and every addendum promptly. Check the names, price, deposit, credits, and settlement date.

Share Contact Details

Provide accurate information for the buyers, sellers, agents, lender, and other authorized professionals.

Report Changes Quickly

Send all signed amendments, repair credits, invoices, commission instructions, and date changes immediately.

Protect Private Information

Use approved, secure systems for identification, loan details, bank information, and other sensitive documents. Do not share a buyer’s Closing Disclosure without proper authorization.

Mention Problems Early

Tell the settlement team about trusts, estates, deceased owners, divorce, bankruptcy, powers of attorney, foreign sellers, liens, or absent signers.

Help Stop Wire Fraud

Remind everyone to verify payment instructions using a trusted phone number. Treat unexpected emails and last-minute changes as warning signs.

Prepare for Closing

Confirm the final walk-through, appointment details, identification requirements, signers, funds, and key delivery.

Wait for Confirmation

Signing does not always mean closing is complete. Wait for official confirmation before releasing keys or announcing the sale as closed.

At Caelora Settlement Services, we value clear communication and strong teamwork from contract to closing.
