What You Need to Bring to Settlement…

Settlement customs vary widely. Your best bet is to consult with your agent and attorney about who is expected to bring what items to settlement. Most items will be sent ahead by your Sales Associate or arranged by the settlement attorney or escrow agent.

Items needed at settlement:

• A Copy of your Real Estate Purchase Agreement and all Addenda.

• A Copy of your Good Faith Estimate provided to you by your lender.

• Certified Funds for the amount that your lender has required (certified bank check, money order, cash). If you are not sure of how much to bring simply call your lender or your agent.

• Proof of Identification for each person signing on the home/loan(s). Usually your Driver’s License works best.

• If you are signing on behalf of another individual you must bring a copy of the Power of Attorney Document.

• Any additional lender required item(s). Your lender will have notified you of any additional items.
