What to Bring to Closing

    • Original, unexpired government ID with Photo (i.e., Driver's license, Passport)
    • Social Security Card
    • Second Form of ID with photo, if possible
    • We will make every effort to get you a HUD-1 settlement statement in advance of closing, which will show all fees, pro-rations, taxes and other charges and credits associated with the purchase of the property and the closing of the purchase money mortgage/deed of trust. However, because the final figures come from many sources, including your lender, we may not have your final, exact figure until the closing time/date. In this case, please depend upon the loan officer's "Good faith" figure when determining the funds necessary to close.
    • Please wire funds needed for closing to Title Rite Services, Inc. escrow account prior to closing, so that all funds are available for immediate disbursement at the time of closing. Please contact the Title Rite Services, Inc. office handling your closing for a copy of our wiring instructions.
