CLOSINGS

What services do we provide as an Escrow Closing Agent?

After all parties have signed the purchase agreement, the title insurance has been ordered and the title search has been completed...

  • The first documents you will receive from Grand Island Abstract will be the Escrow Closing Agreements.  These agreements are an overview of the purchase agreement, information for you to verify, complete and/or correct.  By executing these agreements, you authorize Grand Island Abstract to act as your Closing Agent.
  • Approximately two weeks prior to the closing, Grand Island Abstract will order the required and/or requested inspections and the Seller's current mortgage payoff.
  • Grand Island Abstract will review the Title Insurance Commitment.  Your closing agent will then obtain the necessary items to fulfill the title requirements to transfer clear title to the Buyers.
  • Your closing agent will prepare the Seller's closing documents, including the Warranty Deed (document that transfers title to the property) and obtain Seller's signatures.  These executed documents will be held in escrow until the closing with the Buyers.  We also prepare a final statement for each party, indicating amounts to be disbursed for services and any further amounts necessary to close escrow.
  • Your closing agent will then be in contact with the Buyer's lender or attorney to balance the final closing numbers and prepare the final closing statements.
  • Grand Island Abstract will arrange a closing date and time with the Buyers and advise the Sellers of when their proceeds will be disbursed.  We are responsible for collecting and disbursing funds in connections with the closing including title insurance, recording fees, real estate commissions, lien payoffs, etc...
  • Grand Island Abstract will record the Warranty Deed and appropriate documents like the Deed of Trust at the Register of Deeds Office.
  • Approximately thirty days after all documents are recorded and title requirements are met, the Buyer and Lender will receive their Final Title Insurance Policies.

    Grand Island Abstract is happy to provide closing services to suit your needs.  Please inquire about other services available.
