    • You will finalize your down payment, interest rate, regular payment schedule and any other financial conditions associated with the closing
    • It is important to stay clear of any big credit purchases that may affect your ability to secure a loan
  • Step 5: Go to Settlement
    • The settlement company will perform a title search to ensure that there are no claims against the title
    • We will perform a final walkthrough of the property to ensure it's in the same condition as when you made the offer
