4 Questions Houston Homebuyers Always Ask Before Closing

Buying a home in Houston or Clear Lake is exciting, but closing day can feel overwhelming. From wiring funds to signing stacks of paperwork, it's normal to have questions. Here are the four questions I hear from nearly every homebuyer before closingand exactly how to handle them so you feel confident and prepared.

1. When do I pay my funds?

Funds are due at closing, either via cashier's check or secure wire transfer to the title company handling escrow. Always verify wiring instructions directly with the title company before sending any moneythis simple step protects your funds and gives peace of mind.

2. Should I do a final walkthrough?

Yes! A final walkthrough is your last chance to ensure the home is in the condition you expect. Typically scheduled the day before or the day of closing, this step lets you confirm that any agreed-upon repairs were completed and that everything is move-in ready.

3. What will I be signing at closing?

Closing comes with a lot of paperwork, including:

• Deed of Trust secures your mortgage with the property.
• Promissory Note your promise to repay the loan.
• Closing Disclosure outlines loan terms and costs.
• Additional lender documents any other paperwork required by your mortgage lender.

Every signature brings you closer to officially becoming a homeowner.

4. Who do I call after closing?
