Essential Documents for a Smooth Real Estate Closing

When closing the chapter on your real estate transaction, ensuring you have the necessary documents in order is crucial.  Don’t overlook these key items:

Purchase Agreement and Amendments

Retain a copy of the purchase agreement along with any amendments or riders. These documents are essential references, especially when navigating tax considerations in the subsequent season.

Home Improvement Receipts

Hold on to receipts for any home improvements undertaken while residing in the house. These receipts can prove invaluable during tax season, offering potential deductions based on the improvements made.

Selling Process Documents

Keep a comprehensive record of all documents associated with the selling process. This includes your seller’s disclosure and any paperwork completed during the marketing and sale of your property. Having these documents on hand can be advantageous for future reference.

Change of Address Notice

File a change of address notice with the Postal Service. It’s advisable to complete this process up to 30 days before your move. This ensures that your forwarded mail reaches you promptly, preventing any delays in receiving important communications.
