- After you’ve signed all documents and officially taken ownership of your new home, there are still important follow-up tasks to ensure everything is in order.
- The lender will finalize and fund the loan, and the title company will record the deed with the local government to officially document you as the property owner.
- You’ll receive copies of all signed documents for your records, along with details on where and how to make your monthly mortgage payments.
- Post-closing is also when you’ll set up homeowner’s insurance, update your address with important institutions, and make any necessary arrangements for property taxes or escrow accounts.
- Additionally, you may want to review your mortgage terms periodically, keep your financial records organized, and monitor your property’s value over time.
- This stage is about securing your investment, staying on top of your obligations, and confidently settling into homeownership.
