Seller's Checklist

• Notify your realtor and Hazelwood Title as soon as possible if any of the sellers are unable to attend closing or if you plan to use a power of attorney. The guidelines for using Power of Attorneys require us to review all forms in advance.
• Notify us if there have been any deaths, divorces or marriages since you acquired title to the property.
• Provide the name, address, and account number for any loans you have associated with the property. We will also need your social security number to verify your account with the lender. Some lenders require written authorization.
• Provide Hazelwood Title & Escrow with a contact from your homeowner's association, so we may properly prorate any association fees.
• Notify your realtor and Hazelwood Title & Escrow immediately if you will be paying off an FHA loan to avoid incurring additional interest charges.

• Advise Hazelwood Title & Escrow if your proceeds will be used to purchase another property and need to be wired to another settlement agency.
• Arrange for a final reading of your utilities.
• Make certain that the house will pass the final walk-through inspection and all contract repairs have been completed with receipts provided at the closing for the buyers.
• Arrange for removal of any items that you will not be moving with you.

• Keys, garage door openers, equipment and appliance warranties should be left at the house.
• You will need to provide a forwarding address.
• Any special instructions regarding disbursement of your proceeds must be provided. We disburse funds by wire transfer, overnight mail or pickup at our office within 48 business hours, once we are on record at the county courthouse. If you need the proceeds forwarded to another settlement office, we will be happy to accommodate your request.
