BEFORE YOU FIND A BUYER
Closing Questions Don’t Have to Wait Until Closing.
Many homeowners don’t think about title and settlement until after they have accepted an offer.
But understanding the closing process earlier can help you feel more prepared and avoid surprises later.
While your home is being marketed through Houzeo, The Closing Agent can be a resource for general Florida closing questions, estimated closing costs and education about what happens after you find a buyer.
PLAN AHEAD
Understand Your Estimated Closing Costs.
One of the advantages of preparing early is having a better idea of the expenses that may affect your sale.
Use The Closing Agent’s online closing tools to estimate applicable Florida title and settlement costs before you have a buyer or after your transaction is under contract.
WHEN YOU FIND YOUR BUYER
Your Relationship With Us Can Continue Right Into Closing.
Once buyer and seller reach an agreement, Houzeo may ask you to select a settlement provider.
If you’ve already spoken with The Closing Agent while your home was listed, you won’t be starting from scratch with an unfamiliar company.
You can choose The Closing Agent and move directly into the title, escrow, settlement and closing process with a team you already know.
One Relationship From Preparation to Closing
That means fewer handoffs, less uncertainty and a smoother transition when your transaction moves from selling to closing.
