Congratulations on the sale of your home!

Accurate Title will be working with YOU, your BUYER and their LENDER (if applicable) to ensure that the closing proceeds professionally and in a timely manner. Please take a moment to complete the Seller’s Questionnaire and return to us as quickly as possible.

What You Need to Know as a Seller

Purchase and Sales (P&S) Agreement:

  • Accurate Title will conduct your closing according to the terms agreed upon in your Purchase and Sale (P&S) Agreement.
  • The P&S should contain ALL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE BUYER AND SELLER.
  • Your REALTOR is the correct person to discuss any questions you may have about any items in your contract.
  • It is best to get any contract issues resolved BEFORE getting to the closing table.

Mortgage Payoff Information

  • All existing liens on the property will be required to be paid off.
  • You will need to provide Accurate Title with the names, phone numbers and loan numbers of all existing mortgage holders.
  • This includes EQUITY LOANS and/or LINES OF CREDIT, even if at a zero balance, as they need to be paid off and closed to clear title for your new buyers.

Deed

  • The seller is required to provide a deed transferring ownership to the buyer(s).
  • Accurate Title would be happy to prepare the deed on your behalf upon your request.
  • Proposed Deeds prepared by a 3rd party will need to be reviewed by our legal department prior to closing.

Identification

  • Be prepared to provide identification at the closing table that includes your PHOTO and your SIGNATURE (ie: valid driver’s license).
  • All identification must be valid and CANNOT be EXPIRED.

Closing Funds

  • Once all parties have signed documents & we are fully funded by the buyer and/or their lender, Accurate Title will disburse proceeds to sellers by one of the following methods:
    • Check payable to the owner of record.
    • Wire transfer (wire instructions should ONLY be provided in writing at closing – DO NOT EMAIL wire instructions, if possible, to avoid any opportunities for wire fraud!).
  • If you need to bring funds to closing, it must be in the form of a BANK or CERTIFIED check payable to Accurate Title.
    • Personal checks are not legally acceptable.
    • We can also accept wired funds – please reach out to your processing team directly for secure wire instructions.

Scheduling

  • The buyer’s lender will give Accurate Title the “CLEAR TO CLOSE” and let us know when it is OK to schedule the closing.
  • We will then contact the BUYER, YOU and/or your REALTOR to schedule a closing date, time & location that is convenient for all parties.
