SELLERS

Congratulations! You got a contract! What do I need to do?

​

Here is a checklist to help guide you though the process:
 

• Work with your real estate agent to schedule the settlement date and time with the sellers, your lender and Double Eagle Title.
   

• Double Eagle Title will contact you or your agent to provide payoff information for all loans or liens that are encumbering the property. Double Eagle will need name, address, account number and the telephone number for each lender or lien holder.
   

• Transfer utilities out of your name - confirm appropriate time-frame for transferring utilities with your agent.
   

• Bring valid, photo issued, government identification to settlement.
   

• Check with your real estate agent to confirm how to transfer keys. You may be asked to bring them to settlement, leave them in the property or provide them to your agent for transfer.
   

• Getting money back? If you would like your funds wired into your bank account, please bring a void check or wire instructions provided by your financial institution.
   

• If your payoffs exceed your combined sales price and settlement charges you will need to bring certified funds to settlement payable to Double Eagle Title. If you wish to have funds wired to Double Eagle Title please contact our office so that we may provide you with wire instructions to our escrow account.
   

• Confirm with your real estate agent any other items you may be required to bring to settlement.
