In our local market, it is customary for sellers to pre-sign paperwork ahead of the official closing date. Whether you choose to sign early or attend in person on the big day, make sure you check off these absolute essentials:
🆔 1. Government-Issued Photo ID
Bring a valid driver's license, passport, or state ID. The escrow or title officer needs to verify your identity before signing legal transfer documents and deeds. If selling jointly, all owners on the title must bring valid IDs.
🏦 2. Bank Details for Proceeds
Bring your bank's routing and account numbers (or a canceled check) so your proceeds can be wired directly to your account after funding, or confirm your payout preferences with the settlement agent ahead of time. Tip: Please bring the bank account information necessary to wire proceeds to an account that matches how you are vested in title. Example: If you are vested in your Trust name, you will need an account in your Trust name.
🔑 3. Keys, Remotes & Access Codes
Gather all house keys, deadbolt keys, garage door openers, gate codes, and security system codes to hand over or leave on the kitchen counter for the buyer.
📝 4. Property Info & Warranties
Bring or leave any user manuals, warranty documents for appliances/systems, major repair receipts, or contractor contacts that will be helpful for the new homeowner.
💻 5. Fully Charged Phone or Laptop
Bring a device in case you need to access your email, approve final digital disclosures, or complete last-minute e-signatures before closing can be finalized.
