Prepare for closing

The end-to-end closing process can take a few weeks, but it all comes together on closing day. Here's what happens before you sign.

Your home appraisal

An appraiser will review the size and condition of your home and compare it to similar homes in the area to determine the estimated value of your home. You'll want the appraised value to come in higher than the loan amount.

Review the Closing Disclosure

You'll receive your Closing Disclosure three business days before you close. This itemized list shows all money you'll pay at or before closing. It includes your loan amount, interest rate, loan term, origination fees, title insurance, deposits for property insurance and taxes, homeowners insurance and any other fees. Review your Closing Disclosure carefully and compare it to the Loan Estimate you received to make sure there are no last-minute changes.

Your Home Lending Advisor can help with any questions about your Closing Disclosure.
