Buying a home is likely one of the most important (and most stressful) decisions you make in life. Investing in your family’s future is not something to take lightly. It is very easy to overwhelm by the rules, fees, and processes that must be followed. For these reasons, having Hyde Law Firm ready to serve and guide you through the finish line is crucial.
Purchasing a home is one of the few times that you really need to be vigilant about minutiae. Note anything that might cause you to second-guess and bring it to the seller’s attention. Are there appliances missing? Does it look like there’s past water damage? It’s important to remember that a delay in closing is preferable to missing something that will cost you in the future.
Other helpful tips include
(1) Performing a final cost check to avoid unpleasant surprises at the closing table and
(2) Thoroughly review your HUD-1 statement (which outlines your final loan costs). To ensure that the final numbers add up to your original loan estimate, always contact your lender immediately to find out why.
Finally, don’t sign anything you don’t understand! An average closing document is going to be 50 to 100 pages long. And it will be filled with legal jargon that might be tempting to gloss over. Much like the minutiae we mentioned earlier, these are things that should not be ignored because once you sign, there is no recourse. That’s why when you call Hyde Law Firm, we ensure that when you sign on the dotted line, you will only be getting the home of your dreams, with no potential nightmares.
