Step 1 — Open Escrow & Title: Your Transaction Hub

We open escrow with a local title company serving Gold Beach, Brookings and Port Orford. The office serves as the central hub for coordinating escrow and title activities, ensuring all business operations are handled efficiently and professionally. They collect earnest money, hold funds, and coordinate the title search, preliminary title report, HOA documents, payoff demands, and recording.

• Deposit earnest money per contract timelines (wire or cashier’s check). Timely deposits are essential for business efficiency and to keep the transaction on track.
• Review the preliminary title report for easements, encroachments, CCRs/HOA, and liens. Clients may require additional documentation or clarification during this review.
• Confirm vesting (how you’ll hold title) with your advisor. Our team will follow up with you to ensure all title details are correct and up to date.

Step 2 — Inspections: Find Issues Early

We recommend a comprehensive home inspection plus coastal-specific checks common in the Curry County real estatemarket.

• General home inspection to evaluate structure, systems, and safety. Inspectors are required to be licensed by the state to ensure compliance and quality.
• Specialty as needed: septic, well, pest/wood-destroying, roof, sewer scope, foundation, mold/moisture.
• Coastal factors: wind exposure, salt-air corrosion, drainage/slopes, flood/tsunami overlays.

We’ll review reports, and note that multiple reviews may provide additional perspectives on the property’s condition, helping us estimate repairs and decide on credits vs. work orders.

Step 3 — Repair Requests & Credits

Based on inspection findings, we may prepare a targeted repair addendum or request a closing credit so you can control the work after closing.

• Prioritize safety, structural, and system issues first.
• Use licensed contractors for estimates to support credits or repairs.
• Balance timelines: limited inspection periods mean tight decision windows.

Step 4 — Appraisal: Supporting Value

If you’re financing, your lender orders an appraisal to confirm the home’s value. We prepare a comp package highlighting upgrades, views, acreage, and local sales data.

• If value meets or exceeds price, we move forward to final underwriting.
• If value is low, options include price renegotiation, buyer gap coverage, or appraisal rebuttal with stronger comps.
• For cash buyers, we can still order an appraisal or broker price opinion for peace of mind.

Step 5 — Final Loan Approval & Documents

Your lender finishes underwriting once appraisal and conditions are cleared. Escrow sends your Closing Disclosure (CD)and final numbers to go over.

• Sign loan docs (in person or e-sign, depending on lender).
• Wire funds safely—always call escrow to verify wiring instructions.
• Plan your utilities, insurance binders, and move-in logistics.

Step 6 — Closing, Recording & Keys

On closing day, escrow confirms recording with the county. We exchange keys and make sure you have vendor referrals for any immediate work.
