The Keys: Closing on Your New Home

16 February 2020

Closing Tests Your Willpower

Buying Properties House Hunting

The closing is a test of will. There is nothing more awesome than taking ownership of your brand new home, but you have to sign for it first. In Episode 5 of “The Home Buying Process in Plain English” starring Elizabeth Banks, get ready to loosen up your writing hand. Did someone say paperwork? Because at closing, you’re going to have to sign your name like 300 times. Maybe 400. Seriously, it’s insane. Bring an energy bar and maybe one of those handgrip exercise tool things.
