Lauren and I are going to close on our house this Friday! We’re really excited!
Right now our mortgage company is preparing (has prepared?) the paperwork to send to the lawyer people. The lawyer people then look at all the costs, figure out what Lauren and I owe at closing, and then they tell our realtor and the mortgage guy how much money we are supposed to take to closing.
Then Lauren and I will get notified by our realtor, and we’ll go to the bank to get a hugemongous cashier’s check. Apparently you can’t write a personal check for your house! Go figure!
Then we will sign like 45 minutes’ worth of paperwork.
Lauren and I are both a little stressed out because we have never purchased a house before and because, although we trust our bank people and realtor, we’re still not sure what to expect at signing.
