Prepare For Closing
Additional items may be needed
at the closing . . .
Discuss with our agent what

the closing. While certain items
will be helpful to the agent
to have when putting your
property up for sale, prior to
closing, confirm any additional
items necessary for you to bring
to
the closing.

keys for the house, garage,
doors, etc. Soon you will
need to turn these over to
