The week leading upto today quiet busy. I had to call the various service and utility companies to change service to my new address. Also had to call the title company and loan officer to get th final settlement statement for closing. All these was being done a day before closing. So on Tuesday (a day before closing), I went to the bank to get a cashier's check for the closing amount.
The day began early today. It started at 8am when I had the final walk through to make sure all the items identified during the pre-closing walk through were addressed. Most issues were addressed. Some last minute touch ups and paint jobs were still being done. Other than that, the only major issue left was the blinds which has not yet been installed. After the checkup was complete, I got a cooler bag filled with handy stuff for moving form Pulte. Apparently they give this gift to all new homeowners.
The closing was setup at the title company (Sun Title Agency in my case) at 10:30 am. I decided to go there with my dad. My realtor was also to join me there. From what I had heard form various people, I expected the closing to be a long and boring process with millions of pages of legal documents to review and sign. So I was surprised when the escrow officer gave me just a small stack of documents to review and sign. The whole process took a little more than an hour. I finally handed over my cashiers check (down payment) and within minutes, I was handed over the letter to collect the keys for my house.
So after lunch, I along with mom decided to go and collect the keys form the sales office. After the formalities were complete, I got the keys, and did one final walk through and check up of the house. Everything seem to be in order, and its ready to move in.
So here are the final set of pictures of the finished house.
