Some HOA’s require up front payment to provide the HOA Statement, which is a summary of dues and fees owed at closing. In the event there is a prepayment required, we will reach out to fill out a credit card authorization form to order it on your behalf. Please note that if this prepayment is made and the contract is cancelled, then this fee is nonrefundable.
No. We must have original signed closing documents that are notarized. This signing can be done remotely, but we would need the originals sent back with a prepaid UPS Label we provide.
Our law firm works with iBuyers and REIT’s (commonly know as hedge funds). Please check the addendum to the contract. If they intend to lease the property, then there cannot be any leasing restrictions, or the contract will terminate.
If there are proposed leasing restrictions that are not yet passed that would impact the buyer’s ability to lease the property in the future, then the contract will terminate.
Mortgage payoffs are padded with interest and include fees. Any funds paid to your lender over the amount owed will be refunded by your lender within weeks after closing. Please make sure to contact them if you have not received anything.
Your lender needs to see an accurate closing statement. We cannot provide an accurate closing statement until we have reviewed title and received all payoffs. Your closing statement is generally available 3-business days prior to your closing date.
Please send all title requests to titlerequests@hankinpacklaw.
