Escrow Office Gold Beach, Brookings & Port Orford: Inspections and Appraisals – Freedom Realty

Step 1 — Open Escrow Services & Title: Your Closing Hub

We open escrow with a trusted local title company, Inc., providing escrow services and serving Gold Beach, Brookings, and Port Orford. They hold funds, issue the preliminary title report, gather payoff demands, and coordinate recording. These businesses have a longstanding reputation for reliability and expertise in the Gold Beach community.

• Deliver signed contract and buyer’s earnest money to escrow per timelines.
• Review the prelim for easements, CCRs/HOA, liens, and encroachments.
• Confirm vesting and forwarding address; choose wire or check for proceeds.

Step 2 — Disclosures & Documents

Clean, complete disclosures build buyer confidence and speed up underwriting and appraisal—critical in Curry Countyclosings.

• Oregon property disclosures; lead-based paint (if applicable); HOA/condo packets.
• Permits, warranties, manuals; recent well/septic records where applicable.
• Provide receipts for agreed repairs and improvements.

Step 3 — Inspections for Buyers: Minimize Surprises

Expect a general inspection plus coastal-specific checks. We manage access, timelines, and responses to keep momentum after showings in the Southern Oregon Coast real estate market. It is our job as your agent to ensure inspections are handled efficiently and thoroughly. Our professional team approaches every inspection with attention to detail and expertise.

• Common add-ons: roof, pest/WDIR, sewer scope, , moisture/mold, foundation.
• Coastal focus: wind exposure, salt-air wear, drainage and slope stability.
• We’ll evaluate requests—credit vs. repair—and protect your net & timeline. Your agent makes the inspection process as smooth and stress-free as possible for you.

Step 4 — Appraisal: Support Value

For financed buyers, the lender orders an appraisal. We prepare a comp package highlighting upgrades, views, acreage, and recent sales to support your contract price.

• If value meets/exceeds price: proceed to final underwriting and docs.
• If value is low: options include price adjustment, buyer gap coverage, or a rebuttal with stronger comps.
• Cash deals may still request an appraisal or BPO for peace of mind, ensuring you get the best deal and a great experience throughout the process.

Step 5 — Repairs vs. Credits: Keep Momentum

We prioritize safety/structural items and favor simple resolutions that protect your close date in Brookings, Gold Beach, and Port Orford. We address repairs for various types of properties, ensuring that each property receives the attention it needs for a smooth transaction.

• Use licensed estimates to right-size credits or targeted repairs, and create a list of repairs or credits to keep the process organized.
• Clarify who does the work, permit needs, and reinspection steps.
• Document everything for appraiser and buyer’s lender.

Step 6 — Final Approval, CD & Signing

Once conditions are cleared and the appraisal is in, escrow issues your Closing Disclosure and schedules signing. We coordinate keys, cleaners, and move-out timing.

• Verify payoffs, HOA dues, utilities, and any rent-back terms.
• Use secure wire procedures for your proceeds—always call escrow to confirm instructions.
• Prepare final receipts and disclosures for the file.
