What do I need to do before my closing?

There are a number of things you should do in advance of your closing:

  • Have your realtor send Melissa the Purchase & Sale Agreement (P&S)
  • Have your lender send Melissa the title request
  • Check with the local Code Enforcement Officer (CEO) to confirm that your intended use of the property, if not purely residential, is permitted
  • Have homeowner’s insurance ready for the date of closing
  • Contact Central Maine Power (CMP) to set up a new account
  • Contact Maine Water to set up a new account if applicable
  • Set up fuel delivery
  • Make sure any contingencies in the P&S have been completed to your satisfaction
  • Review the proposed deed and bank documents for the correct spelling of your name
