Title > Closing

What To Bring and Who To Bring.


Review papers, get your down payment, give your keys and the net proceeds of the sale are yours.




Many people may attend the closing: you, your Edina Realty Sales Associate, the buyer and their real estate agent, and an escrow agent (closer) from the title company.

During the meeting, which usually takes an hour, you and the buyer will review and sign all of the relevant closing papers. Then, after the buyer provides a cashier’s or certified check for the down payment and closing costs, you pass the keys to the new owner and the net proceeds of the sale are yours.

Interpreters Available
Edina Realty Title will provide language interpreters, including sign language interpreters, on the closing day at no cost to the customer or the agent.Just let your Edina Realty Title closer know a few days prior to the closing, so arrangements can be made.

What To Bring to Closing
In the rush of selling your home, don’t forget to bring the following items with you:

    If you’re the buyer:

  • A photo ID
  • A certified check, made payable to yourself, for the amount specified in your most recent Good Faith estimate you received from your loan officer or lender. This usually includes the balance of your down payment (subtract the earnest money you paid when your offer was accepted), and fees for other services.
  • Your personal checkbook so if other charges come up, you can write a personal check to cover them.
  • Your new homeowner’s / hazard insurance binder with proof of one year’s payment (usually a receipt).

  If you’re the seller:

  • Keys and garage door opener(s)
  • Code compliance (if applicable) 
  • If more than one owner, both owners need to attend

Unique Products
As the Midwest’s leading full service residential title company, Edina Realty Title offers sellers innovative products:

  • Closing Express is a convenient form of escrow closing designed to save time. It allows you to complete paperwork at your convenience rather than attending a formal closing meeting.
  • HomeDocs is a new online based central storage area for all of your home sale and closing documents. If you do not have a HomeDocs™ account number to view your home documents online, please contact your Edina Realty Sales Associate or Customer Service.
