Buying Process: Step 13
Closing!
Closing is the final step in buying your home. During this meeting, you’ll:
Review and sign all legal documents (purchase agreement, mortgage, disclosures)
Pay closing costs and remaining down payment
Receive the keys to your new home
Your lender and title company coordinate the transfer of funds, and ownership officially passes to you.
Why This Matters:
Ensures the home is legally transferred into your name
Confirms all financial and legal obligations are met
Marks the moment you become the official homeowner
