BUY A HOME
Successful Steps to Buying a Home
  
Close Your Loan and Move In!


Ready to Close and Move In
You've found an affordable house you like. You've signed the purchase agreement. There is still some work ahead. The closing is the final hurdle to making the house you've found your home.

Thorough preparation can minimize your chances of a rocky closing. At NHS, we'll make sure you are ready for the big day.

Important Tips for a Smooth Closing:
Make sure you know exactly what is included with the house's purchase price. The buyer should clearly spell this out in the purchase agreement. A good rule-of-thumb for a buyer is: Assume nothing. Be clear as to whether the drapes or backyard play equipment are among the items the seller will likely remove unless otherwise specified.

Other issues that should be agreed upon in advance include: accurate information on real estate taxes, survey fees, possession date and homeowner's insurance.

We'll work with you to be sure you have satisfied any conditions attached to a loan approval before the closing.
