Escrow & Closing Checklist: The Seller's Final 30 Days
Answer 5 questions to get a 5-category checklist: escrow kickoff, the 30–45 day progress, documents and signatures, closing-day checklist, and post-close handoff. Closing is not a single day — from contract to key handoff your agent runs a 14-step process, and your job is making sure no step slips.
The moment the contract ratifies, your agent starts an assembly line: contract to escrow, MLS status within 48 hours, key dates confirmed, deposit and contingencies tracked, inspection and appraisal coordinated, home warranty ordered, final walk-through scheduled, broker's demand sent, closing statement reconciled. Know where the line stands and the last week won't be chaos.
- Closing-day checklist is its own page — tick it line by line
- Post-close handoff (utilities, mail, insurance, MLS) is the most-skipped part
- Day counts and process items flagged 'needs-confirm' — follow your agent's tracker
