Closing and the Seller

     If you are about to close the sale of your home, there are steps you should be aware of to make the closing as smooth as possible. 

     Normally, you and your attorney will be responsible for drawing the new deed and bringing this document to the closing.  You will need a copy of your most recent tax bill, which should be receipted if it has been paid.  If the insurance or mortgage is to be assumed by the new buyer, you will need this information also.

     When the sale involves income, as for rental properties, the seller should bring leases, rent schedules, escrow statements for deposits held and a letter to be sent to tenants notifying them of the ownership change.  Of course, you would also bring keys, garage door openers, and such to closing.
