What Does the Seller Have To Do For Closing?


Sunday, February 13, 2011 - The closing (also commonly known as "settlement") is the final step when selling a home. This is where money and keys are exchanged.

In fact, the buyer has to do much more to prepare for closing than the seller (see our Buyer's Guide: Closing section for more valuable information on closing from a buyer's perspective).
