🏡 The Velocity Group's 2-Minute Home Buying Guide Part 7 of 9 | Closing Day: What to Expect Before You Get the Keys

Closing Day: What to Expect Before You Get the Keys

After weeks of searching, negotiating, inspections, and paperwork, Closing Day has finally arrived! While it's an exciting milestone, knowing what to expect can help everything go smoothly.

Before closing, you'll complete a final walkthrough of the property. This gives you the opportunity to confirm that agreed-upon repairs have been completed, the home is in the expected condition, and nothing has changed since your last visit.

Next, you'll review and sign the final closing documents. These documents outline your mortgage, ownership details, and the financial terms of your purchase. Your escrow officer will guide you through each document and answer any questions along the way.

You'll also provide any remaining funds needed to complete your purchase, typically through a secure wire transfer or cashier's check, depending on your escrow company's instructions.

Once all documents have been signed, funds have been received, and the transaction has officially recorded with the county, ownership is transferred to you—and it's finally time to celebrate!

Receiving the keys to your new home marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter.

⭐ Velocity Tip

Schedule your utilities, internet service, and address changes before Closing Day. Taking care of these details ahead of time makes moving into your new home much easier.

❓ Frequently Asked Question

Do I receive the keys immediately after signing?

Not always. In Arizona, buyers typically receive the keys after the transaction has officially recorded with the county, which often happens later the same day.
