Send to friend

To ensure a smooth real estate closing have your buyers and or sellers bring the following items to closing:

• Valid driver's license, state issued ID or passport (make sure ID's are not expired).
• Buyers must supply the title company with good funds (cashier's check or wire) at closing. Money orders are NOT considered good funds.
• On all cash purchases most title companies require good funds in the form of a wire. A cashier's check might not be accepted for an all cash transaction.
• When there is a change in marital status a driver's license reflecting the new name should be provided along with a marriage license. In the case of a divorce the divorce decree should be provided documenting the change.
• Sellers and buyers will need to provided their Social Security number or Tax Identification Number.
• Any original documents required by title insurance company such as original power of attorney.

Check with your real estate agent to find out if there are any other items you should bring to closing such as garage door openers, keys, security codes or other items previously discussed.
