Step 13:
Attending The Closing - The big day is finally here! Bring your checkbook and photo ID and any certified funds requested by your attorney. Usually present at the closing will be the seller, the bank, the title company, both attorneys and both realtors. This is the place where you give the sellers the remainder of your down payment, your loan proceeds and any adjustments back and forth (for example, taxes already paid by seller, oil in the oil tank etc.) The closing usually takes approx. 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 hours. CONGRATULATIONS! YOU NOW OWN A HOME!
