The first question you might want to ask yourself is, "Why do I want to sell my home?" Do you need more space? Are you an empty nester looking for a smaller place? Have you accepted a job in a different part of the country? All of these questions affect the potential sale of your home and the negotiating process of that sale.

During the negotiating process of the sale of a home, you can react in one of three different ways:
After the emotional ups and downs of the entire process of executing a real estate transaction, the closing process is the final step. This is also referred to as the "Settlement" or "Escrow" process. In Ohio, this process is carried out by a real estate escrow and title company mutually agreed upon by the buyer and seller in the negotiation stage of the transaction. During this process, the title company will collect all necessary information from the title examiner, mortgage company, real estate agents, buyers and sellers to prepare the title to be transferred to the new owner.
The entire escrow process usually takes about 30-45 days to complete based on factors such as the buyer’s financing conditions and appraisal, successful property inspections, title exam and property survey. At the end of the escrow process, both buyer and seller will schedule a time to execute the final closing documents. In most jurisdictions, the title to the property is officially transferred to the new owner upon the execution, delivery and recording of the deed at the county recorder’s office.
Keys are given to the buyer on a date mutually agreed upon by the buyer and seller during the negotiation stage. If the keys are to be delivered at closing, closing is defined as “the recording of the deed” on most real estate contracts. Congratulations you have sold your home!
