Closing

This step is the command performance. Closing is easier to understand if you approach it in two phases, the pre-closing and the close of escrow. The pre-closing is the time period where both parties meet their obligations under the contract, such as the property inspection. The close of escrow is when you sign and file all necessary paperwork, get your deed recorded, and take possession.
