Closing

Final Walk Through Inspection - A few days before close of escrow, the buyers or their representative will conduct a final walk through of the premises. The walk through is not a contingency of the sale, but is to satisfy the buyer that any repairs agreed to in writing have been completed and the premises are in substantially the same condition as on the acceptance date of the contract. As the seller, you are required to make sure the all utilities (except for the phone and cable) remain on for the walk through.

Transfer Utilities - We suggest that you contact your local utility provider to determine the best way to transfer services into your name. It is usually easier for the buyer to have the services transferred into their name than to start new service after the utility provider has disconnected service.

    Intermountain Gas: Buyer should call 208-377-6840 to transfer service.
    (Allow 1-3 bus days)

    Idaho Power: Buyer should call 208-388-2323 to transfer service.
    (Allow 1-3 bus days)

Close of Escrow The Title Company will receive instructions and prepare the documents for closing. Just prior to the closing date, they will provide a Closing Statement that summarizes the financial details of the transaction. You should examine the document carefully to be sure it is accurate. At the closing, which may take place at the title company's office, the title company will have you sign the final documents. Once both parties have signed, the title company will record the deed and disburse funds to the appropriate parties. Once the deed has been recorded, the buyer becomes the new owner.

Don’t forget to make arrangements for transferring the keys.
