15. Close on your new home
You've finally made it to the last step! Getting familiar with the standard closing documents ahead of time can make the closing process less nerve-wracking.

Your lender must provide you with the closing disclosure at least three days before the actual closing. You can compare it with your Loan Estimate to see whether and how any closing costs have changed. This will let you know how much total cash you’ll need to close.

On or close to closing day, you'll do a final walk-through with your real estate agent to check that everything’s as agreed upon (for example, that all the appliances that are supposed to be included in the sale are still there).

It's been a whirlwind of emotion and seemingly endless paperwork, not to mention that you may have just written the biggest check of your life — but now you're getting the keys to your new home. Congratulations, you did it!

Day 7 of the 'Two a Day Home Buying Tips'. Let's make it a breeze.

13. Have the home appraised.
The home appraisal is completely separate from the home inspection. While the home inspection is for your peace of mind, the appraisal is really for the lender, which doesn’t want to lend you more money than the home is actually worth. An appraisal looks closely at the home you're buying and at comparable recently sold homes to determine the market value of the property.

14. Negotiate any repairs or credits with the seller.
Though some items, like prorating property taxes or HOA fees, will already have been addressed in your offer letter, you may still have some items to negotiate before closing.

Also, aking for a credit at closing rather than for the seller to complete needed repairs can help keep the transaction moving. The seller simply rebates you an agreed-upon amount for specific improvements. That can save you a bit of cash at closing, plus handling the repairs yourself (whether DIY or with a pro) ensures the work will be done to your satisfaction.
