Introduction
The loan signing process is the final step in the real estate transaction process. It is when you will sign all of the necessary paperwork to finalize your loan and purchase your new home.
The loan signing process can be a bit overwhelming, but it is important to understand what to expect so that you can be prepared. This blog post will walk you through the loan signing process step-by-step.
Step 1: Review the loan documents
Before the loan signing, you will receive a copy of all of the loan documents to review. This includes the purchase agreement, deed of trust, note, closing disclosure, and other documents. It is important to review these documents carefully and ask any questions you have to your loan signing agent.
Step 2: Arrive at the loan signing on time
It is important to arrive at the loan signing on time. This will help to ensure that the process runs smoothly and that you can close on your home on schedule.
Step 3: Meet with your loan signing agent
Your loan signing agent will greet you and review the loan documents with you again. They will also explain the documents and answer any questions you have.
Step 4: Sign the loan documents
Once you understand the loan documents and are ready to sign, you will be asked to sign them in the presence of your loan signing agent. Your loan signing agent will then notarize the documents.
Step 5: Review the closing disclosure
The closing disclosure is a document that summarizes all of the loan terms and costs. It is important to review the closing disclosure carefully to make sure that all of the information is correct.
Step 6: Fund the loan
Once the loan documents have been signed and the closing disclosure has been reviewed, the lender will fund the loan. This means that the lender will send the money to the seller of the home.
Congratulations! You have now closed on your new home!
