Clients rely on their\nagents to help them navigate one of the most significant investments in a\nlifetime, especially first-time home buyers. Discover seven facts agents should\ntell buyers before closing on a house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Final Mortgage Approval Kicks Off the Deal<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A buyer&#8217;s agent should always encourage clients to\nget pre-approved for a mortgage before shopping for homes. A pre-approval shows\nthe buyers are qualified and lets them know how much they can afford to spend.\nBefore closing on a house, the financing\narrangements must be confirmed. The sales contract typically specifies how long\nthe buyers have to secure financing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mortgage underwriters will scrutinize the\nbuyers&#8217; financial situation to ensure they can pay back the loan. Underwriters\nverify all statements on the loan application are true, verify income, and\ncheck the buyers&#8217; credit scores. The home appraisal will also be reviewed.\nAgents should advise their clients not to finance any other large purchases\nwhile buying a house, as that could lower their credit scores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Every Buyer Needs a Dedicated Team<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The next step is to ensure the buyer has a dedicated\nteam of professionals to assist throughout the process. The first people a\nbuyer works with are a lender and real estate agent. Once they make an offer on\na property, it&#8217;s time to find the other necessary players to move the deal\nforward. The closing team members include an attorney, accountant, home\ninspector, insurance agent, and title insurance agent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A savvy buyer&#8217;s agent maintains a list of reputable\nlocal professionals to recommend to clients. Network with other people in the\nindustry, and get plenty of business cards to recommend them. Encourage\nreciprocal referrals to get more leads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Follow a Closing Checklist for Success<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Closing on a house is a confusing time, especially\nfor<a href=\"http:\/\/time.com\/5328412\/buying-first-home\/\"> <\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/time.com\/5328412\/buying-first-home\/\">first-time buyers<\/a> and people who are relocating. A\nbuyer&#8217;s agent can put clients at ease by providing a closing checklist for\nsuccess. Main points to<a href=\"https:\/\/bhgrealestateblog.com\/5-questions-to-ask-potential-homebuyers-to-ease-the-sales-process\/\"> <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/bhgrealestateblog.com\/5-questions-to-ask-potential-homebuyers-to-ease-the-sales-process\/\">include in the list<\/a> are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Schedule a home inspection\nto ensure the property has no undetected faults that could add up to\nsignificant costs after closing on a house<\/li><li>Have a professional\nappraiser determine local real estate values and\nprepare an appraisal of the home to prove its current market value to the\nlender.<\/li><li>Provide a myriad of\nfinancial documentation to the lender, including income tax statements, pay\nstubs, bank account statements, insurance documents, and more.<\/li><li>Order a title search to\nensure the property has no liens or other encumbrances that impact the buyers.<\/li><li>Secure homeowners\ninsurance on the house in the event, it is damaged or destroyed, and if any\naccidents occur in or on the property.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Closing Dates are Speculative<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The contract specifies a projected closing date, and\noften buyers believe it is etched in stone. Closing dates are estimated and can\nvary by a couple of days or weeks. Sometimes the delays are longer if the\nlender requires additional documentation to approve the mortgage. Most delays\nare the result of financing questions. Delays may also be caused if termites or\nother conditions are found during inspections and require remediation. Clearing\ntitle exceptions also takes extra time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And certain types of mortgage loans take longer to\nfund than others. VA, HUD, and FHA loans typically take a couple of weeks\nlonger to close. Government agencies must review the loan documents to verify\nthey are in accordance with all terms and conditions to qualify for the\nfinancing. Encourage buyers to be patient, reassuring them it takes time to get\ninto their dream home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Review the Closing Disclosure<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The buyers must have ample time to review and sign\nthe Closing Disclosure before closing on a house.\nThis necessary paperwork outlines the closing costs associated with the sale, so\nthe buyers are prepared to come to the table with the right amount of money.\nTypically, the mortgage lender or title insurance company sends the CD to the\nbuyers at least three days before closing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A buyer&#8217;s agent should be in touch with the title\ncompany to verify this necessary paperwork is sent on-time. Without it, the\nclosing will have to be rescheduled. While some delays are inevitable, this one\ncan usually be prevented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do a Final Walk-through of the House<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The final walk-through is one of the last\nformalities before closing on a house. Usually,\nthe walk-through is incident-free because sellers are eager to close the deal.\nBut this may not always be the situation. During the walk-through, buyers\ndetermine if the house is in the condition they expected before taking\npossession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, all repairs should be completed per any\ninspection reports. All the appliances and other items included in the\ntransaction should be present and in good working condition. And there should\nbe no new damages to the property, such as a broken window or a large hole in\nthe wall. If any problems arise, working them out can delay the closing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bring Essential Documents to Closing<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Once buyers realize the importance of the six previous\nfacts, it&#8217;s time to attend the closing. Advise them to bring the correct\ndocumentation to close the deal, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Photo identification for\nall parties to the contract and mortgage note<\/li><li>Any outstanding paperwork\nrequested by the mortgage lender and title company<\/li><li>A certified or cashier&#8217;s\ncheck made payable to the title closing company to cover the closing costs that\nare not deducted from the final sales price.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the closing is over, the buyers might be able\nto move into the house right away. Sometimes the sellers request a few days to\nmove out. The terms should be outlined in the contract, so everyone knows what\nto expect. Agents should always remember to connect with buyers after the\nclosing. Give them a small housewarming gift and include a business card in\ncase they need help in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buyers rely on their real estate agent to keep them\ninformed and prepared as the deal unfolds. Better Homes and Gardens\u00ae Real\nEstate agents\nhave access to the<a href=\"https:\/\/greenhouse.bhgre.com\/content\/BHGRE\/en\/content\/learning\/learning-overview.html\"> <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/greenhouse.bhgre.com\/content\/BHGRE\/en\/content\/learning\/learning-overview.html\">Be Better<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/greenhouse.bhgre.com\/content\/BHGRE\/en\/content\/learning\/learning-overview.html\">\u00ae<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/greenhouse.bhgre.com\/content\/BHGRE\/en\/content\/learning\/learning-overview.html\"> University<\/a> to learn the latest ways to help\nclients achieve their goals.
