All parties must bring a Certified Check, Cashier’s Check, Official Check or Teller’s Check (depending on what type of institution you draw it on).

Any information or documentation requested by the purchaser’s lender (tax returns, marriage licenses, social security cards, HUD-1 or settlement statements from recent sale of other property, etc.). Often these are lender closing requirements and are necessary in order that we can consummate the transaction. Additionally, if the lender requires you to pay off certain accounts or creditors at closing, please bring the latest account statements or payoffs in order that we can have the most accurate information.
Sellers should bring the keys to the property, any garage door or HOA gate actuators and/or keys. Any keys to the facilities of Homeowners Associations including pool & clubhouse keys.
