Michael Holigan: Hey, today is the best day you can have. It's the closing. It's the best day for you, it's the best day for me. I own a mortgage company and a home building company. I love this day. It's the closing day! It's when you're going to have home ownership. First thing, walk through with your builder the house. Make sure everything's done the way it was supposed to be done. If it's not, have it fixed. If it can't be fixed in time for closing have them sign a piece of paper saying they are going to fix those items before you close on the house. Next, get ready to go to the title office or your attorney's office or where ever your closing. That's where all the paperwork's going to be. Insurance policy, make sure your insurance company has already delivered the policy to the title office and it's waiting for closing to get funded. After that, paperwork. Don't go there to read all the paperwork. Ask your mortgage company to send the paperwork to you in advance, so you can read it. At least 48 hours in advance. The mortgage company does not mind doing this because it would take hours to read it once you get to the title company or your attorney's office. Any money that's needed, bring as certified funds. Whether it be a cashiers check or some other way. Make sure that it's certified funds. No personal checks at this time. The transfer of ownership. This is where it happens. All the money gets dispersed. The mortgage company gets paid. The builder gets paid. The interim loan gets paid off and you own the house. That's your house now. No one can take it away from you. Enjoy the house.
