What you need to know when preparing for closing:

• Buyers and sellers MUST bring a valid photo identification card to closing.

• Buyers MUST have COLLECTED or GOOD FUNDS to close

• Inform your closer if your buyer requires extra "review time." This way we will do our best to provide them with a closing package the day before closing.

• Inform your closer if there is an attorney involved in the closing. This way we can provide a closing package for them to review and they may not be required to attend the closing thus saving your customer unwarranted legal fees.

• Bismarck Title Company, Morton County Title Company, (and Lenders) must pre-approve any Power-of-Attorney to be used in a closing.

• Let your closer know ahead of time if the buyer and seller will be closing together.

• Inform your closer ahead of time if any party pertinent to the closing is deceased.

• Tell your closer if your sellers are divorcing. We can prepare a separate package and even close separately, if necessary. Please let your closer know one week prior to the closing.

• Let us know if anyone involved in the transaction is physically or mentally impaired so we can make appropriate arrangements.

• Inform your closer if the closing will be a "mail-out" to either the purchaser or the seller well ahead of the closing date. Please let your closer know one week prior to the closing.

• Save the champagne for after the closing. Everyone MUST be sober for us to notarize his or her signatures.
