Whenever you buy a house and the payments are all settled, there is the time when the both the lender and the buyer are called in to hand in the title of the property. This process is called Closing. Now if you are a first time buyer, you need to know what happens during the event in order to prepare yourself to prevent problems on your part since you’re still inexperienced. You also need to get acquainted with the terms and conditions and what to do after closing.
First question, who are the people who need to be present during the closing? Of course you as the buyer must be there with your team. Your team is composed of your real estate agent and the legal attorney. You can also include your broker if he wants to or he can also be your proxy if ever you can’t come to this specific date. On the other side of the closing table, there will be seated the seller of the property, his agent and also an attorney on his behalf. For cases of bank sellers, the person in charge is most likely the supervisor or the bank manager.
During the closing the terms and conditions of the loans are reviewed as well as the statement of accounts that are already paid and all necessary documents. At this point you should have prepared and furnished a copy of your new home owner’s insurance policy and the settlement sheet which contains all the particulars of your payment for your loans, schedules, costs, etc. It is important for you as the buyer to not cancel the insurance policy until all are sent to the government for processing. Now after you turn in showing all the necessary documents, the seller will now provide you with all the warranty and the packages as well as the manuals for all the appliances or components in your home. If you are buying a resale the floor plan, blueprint, the manuals for all appliances, the warranty and even existing insurance policies must be furnished and must be given to you. For new Naples homes, on the other hand, less is needed although the seller must ensure that all information that will enable you to work efficiently are handed in. Finally, the paperwork must be reviewed for possible errors in the title before submitting it to the government.
Now the next question is, how much should you pay when you close a property? Well assuming that you have already pain the loans and other required payments, your fees will add up according to the following items: the title and closing charges, the recording or government filing fees, other miscellaneous charges and the harmful fees that could occur in the settlement account. Of course your fees do not end here for the next thing that is needed of you is to protect your title and make sure that you will own the rights to that property at all times. In order to ensure this, you need to buy a title insurance policy. This will handle all problems if ever title defects occur such as when somebody forges documents to claim your property and or misrepresent you. Title insurance policies are not mandatory although they are highly recommended.

A lender may file a Notice of Default (NOD) on a Las Vegas house but he will have to wait for a minimum of three months before he can sell off the house in a foreclosure sale. The homeowner has a time period of only 35 days to repay the default amount from the date of notice in order to avoid foreclosure. Being a resident of Las Vegas, you will find a number of ways to stop foreclosure apart from paying off the default amount. You may choose any method but make sure it gets started immediately so that you can complete the process before the bank sells off your own home.
4 Steps to prevent mortgage foreclosures in Las Vegas
Have a look at the 4 steps to prevent mortgage foreclosures in Las Vegas.
-
Ask your lender for loan modification – You may request your lender for loan modification. In this process, the lender has several options which include lowering the rate of interest to reducing the principle amount. In case your lender does not agree for loan modification, you may ask about a legal document in lieu of foreclosure. This program enables the borrower to deed the Las Vegas home back to the lender and receive a one-year rent at the present market rate. This prevents the borrower from foreclosure and enables him to live in the house for an extra year.
-
Consult with an attorney for bankruptcy – You may consult with a Las Vegas lawyer if you are thinking to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. After the petition is filed, an automatic stay comes into effect that forbids the lender from foreclosure. You should know that bankruptcy is a feasible option if you do not need your home anymore and want to come out from the debt burden. Filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy will have a negative impact on your credit score more than the other possible alternatives.
-
Appoint a real estate agent for sale – If you are planning to sell off your valuable home, you may appoint a real estate agent and list your house for sale. If you offer right price of your home to the probable buyers, your house will be sold off before the bank can start the foreclosure process. In case you owe more on the home than what its actual worth is, you will require the approval of your lender for short sale. You need to know that a short sale has an impact on your credit score in the same way just as foreclosure.
-
Ask Las Vegas city for help – You may ask the city of Las Vegas for help. The city has received grant money in September 2010 by the federal government and is using the money in different ways in order to help the residents of Las Vegas avoid the foreclosure proceedings.
Thus, by following the above steps, you will be able to prevent mortgage foreclosures in Las Vegas.

SC HELP Foreclosure Prevention Program Now Available Statewide
Almost $300 million in funds to keep homeowners in their homes.
[Columbia, SC] Following a successful pilot program and Treasury’s approval of South Carolina’s readiness assessment, SC Housing Corp. will take its foreclosure prevention program statewide. Starting January 20, the South Carolina Homeownership and Employment Lending Program (SC HELP) will use almost $300 million in federal funds to help responsible but struggling homeowners in the state.
Key components for SC HELP include:
- Monthly Payment Assistance-assisting homeowners with monthly payments for a defined period of time while they seek employment and a return to self sustainability.
- Direct Loan Assistance-for borrowers who have experienced a hardship but have regained the ability to pay. Funds can be used to pay arrearages in order to bring the loan current.
- Property Disposition Assistance-in cases where the mortgage cannot be salvaged, funds may be provided to incentivize short sales, deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure and to help transition families from homeownership to rental housing.
Homeowners applying for Monthly Payment Assistance or Direct Loan Assistance must meet certain threshold requirements in order to apply for help:
1. Borrower or co-borrower must be able to document that the delinquency was a result of a hardship event beyond his/her control (i.e. unemployment, death of a spouse, catastrophic medical expenses, etc.)
2. Mortgage payments must have been made on time for 12 months preceding the hardship event with no more than two 30-day late occurrences
3. The property securing the mortgage must be owner-occupied as a full-time residence
4. Borrower must provide a financial hardship affidavit
5. Mortgage can be no more than 120 days delinquent
6. Loan servicer/investor must be willing to accept payments and provide required data and reporting
Assistance from SC HELP will be provided in the form of a nonrecourse zero-percent interest, non-amortizing, forgivable loan secured by a subordinate lien on the subject property. The loan will be forgiven over a five-year period at a rate of 20% per year. If property is sold or refinanced prior to the loan termination date, funds will be recovered should sufficient equity be available from the transaction. The Property Disposition Assistance Program will provide a one time, lump sum grant to the recipient.
Additional criteria and documentation requirements must be met for final eligibility determination. Homeowners wishing to make an application should apply online at www.SCMortgageHelp.com. SC HELP officials emphasize that using the online application is the fastest and most efficient way to begin the process. Homeowners without internet access may call toll-free to 855-HELP-4-SC (855 435-7472) to begin the process.
SC HELP is intended to assist responsible borrowers – those borrowers who are facing possible foreclosure due to circumstances beyond their control, i.e. unemployment, death of a spouse, catastrophic medical expenses and/or divorce. SC HELP is NOT intended to serve borrowers who are facing foreclosure due to poor credit and/or debt management, stripping the equity from their home for non-essential purposes, or overall mismanagement of their personal budget.
Additional information, background and resources are now posted on SC State Housing’s website, as well as www.SCMortgageHelp.com, and will be updated frequently.

Buying a home for the first time is so exciting. Be sure you know these tips so that this experience is one you will WANT to remember.
1. Decide your needs from your wants. You may want a fenced in back yard, but can that be something you can add on later, where as you can’t change somethings like a homes location or number of bedrooms. Be realistic and decided what you have to have and what you want to have.
2. Know your budget, and STICK to it. There are many mortgage calculators to help you decide on what you can afford. Just because you are pre qualified for an amount, does not mean that you can afford that amount. You don’t want to be house poor where you can’t afford anything but your house payment and have no emergency fund. As a homeowner, new home or not, there will always be an emergency. Know your numbers. A lender will be happy to help you.
3. Hire a professional. You may think you can do this on your own, but seeking professional advice can save you money. A professional can show you what a good price for the home is, so that you don’t end up over paying for a home.
4. Don’t be fooled by the shiny pretty lights. Always get a professional home inspection, even on new construction. A home can be staged beautifully with pretty new things, but there could be major repairs that a novice wouldn’t know to look for.
5. Don’t hesitate when you find the “one’. If you have found the home that you feel and seems perfect, don’t wait to make an offer. Some buyers think the home will be on the market forever, but often the best homes go quickly no matter what the market is like. This is why it is important to have a professional from the beginning so they can help you act quickly when the perfect home is found.
Now that you have a few tips, good luck, and happy home shopping!
