Reviewing final paperwork on closing day in Citrus County

Reviewing Your Final Settlement Statement

Before closing day arrives, the title company gives you a final settlement statement. This document lists your sale price, credits, fees, and the amount you will receive after closing. Your agent reviews the numbers with you so everything is clear. When the statement looks correct, you are ready for your signing appointment.

Signing the Required Documents

On closing day, you meet with the title company or closing attorney to sign the paperwork that completes the sale. You sign the deed, seller affidavits, tax forms, and other documents. The appointment usually takes less than thirty minutes. In addition, your agent stays available to answer questions and support you throughout the signing.

Handing Over the Keys

Next, the title company sends the signed documents for funding. Once the transaction funds, the property officially transfers to the buyer. This is the point when you hand over the keys, garage remotes, gate cards, and any access items the new owner needs. When these steps are complete, the sale has officially closed.

Receiving Your Proceeds

Finally, the title company issues your proceeds. Most sellers choose a wire transfer, but a check is also available. You receive your funds the same day, which helps you move forward with your next chapter without delay. Knowing what happens on closing day makes the entire experience feel smooth and predictable.
