We will need your help with the following items in order to close your transaction.

  • Loan Payoff Information:

We will send you a “Loan Payoff Information Form.” This form will be used to contact your present mortgage lender(s) in order to prepare them for the payoff.  Please return this form as soon as possible with your loan payoff information. We need the name of your company, the telephone number, your account number and your social security number. Many companies require a 3-7 day turnaround, therefore it is very important that we get this information to order your payoff as soon as possible.

You are required to bring the original, clear termite letter to the closing.
