If your closing goes smoothly, this is the best day and one you won't forget! You get the keys to your new home! We were extremely blessed and had great sellers so that helped a lot! Sometimes the sellers or the buyers will have power of attorney to sign their documents (giving permission to someone else to sign your paperwork) and may not be there. If you are there with the sellers it can be awkward....crickets....or it can be super fun and a chance to talk to them about their home! Brenda also had gotten a list of utility companies they used previously for us to call and switch names and billing for to make the process smoother. The closer, buyers and sellers (or person designated by one party or another to sign), along with possibly the mortgage broker will be there. They go through a million pieces of paperwork and you sign, sign, sign, sign and oh, you sign! You have your funds sent there for them as well (your down payment).
After we finished, we got a great congratulations gift from both Brenda and our closer. Then we got to the home and the sellers had planted some new flowers for us in the outside pots, wrote us a super nice note, got us a couple of big robes, and had a bottle of champagne, and 2 wine glasses awaiting our arrival (I told you they were awesome!).
After that, move in and make it your own!!
OR, sit back, relax (most likely on your floor unless your furniture is there!), and look around at your brand new purchase!!
