Closing

Let's change the write up for this section to say this instead: The day is finally here--you've bought the Home or Cottage of your dreams! You will have signed closing documents with your Lawyer and Banker likely a week or so before the actual closing day. The day before closing you will typically do a final walk through of the property with Amber. On the actual closing day, the Banks and Lawyers will be working hard in the back end, trying to shuffle papers and money, attempting to close the transaction successfully for all parties. You will get "the call" from your Lawyer, when the money has changed hands, title has been registered and you are officially proud new Owners!
