If you need assistance at any time, you can message an Alokee attorney or transaction coordinator real estate attorney for expert advice.

An Alokee transaction coordinator will guide you through these steps:

1. Hire a professional property inspector to conduct a thorough inspection of the home and deliver an inspection report.

2. Contact an insurance company to obtain a homeowner's insurance policy, dated to begin on the planned closing date.

3. Your escrow agent will receive instructions from your mortgage lender to finalize loan documents and close the loan. In the days before your appointment, your lender will provide you with a form from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, called a HUD statement, which provides itemized details about buyer and seller charges and the dollar amount you must bring to the table to cover down payments, fees and closing costs.

4. Obtain a certified cashier's check or coordinate for a bank wire in the amount indicated on the HUD statement.

5. Lastly you will meet with a notary assigned by the Title Company to close the sale. You will sign several documents and either present your cashier check or verify that the wire transfer has been submitted. Once the title agent or attorney receives notice that funds have been transferred from your lender, the deed for your new house will be recorded at the county recorder's office and the rights to possession will be yours.
