Seller Closing Order (Unrepresented)
  • Seller Closing Order and Information Sheet (Unrepresented)

  • Do you currently have the property under contract? NOTE: Select "No" if you don't have a buyer yet. When you later edit the form, you will select "Yes."
  • Are you a Broker acting on behalf of the Seller, or are you the Seller? NOTE: Even if you are the Agent filling out the form for the Seller, Seller must be selected for the proper fields to populate.*
  • SELLER INSTRUCTIONS

     

    The Seller Closing Information Sheet is used to provide our office with enough information to begin the transaction.  It also helps faciliate the transfer of information to us in an orderly manner, in order to limit the amount of times we must request details about certain aspect of the transaction from you, or your Agent. 

    It also serves as a check against any information provided to us in the Purchase Contract, and to ensure that there is a common understanding of all of the terms and conditions of the Purchase Contract between the parties. 

    While we ask for certain documents to help us complete the transaction, if you do not have the information readily available, you can provide us with the requested documents at a later time. 

    Here are some further details:

     

    1.  FILLING OUT THE FORM:  Please ensure that when you are entering information into the fields, that you do not put information in all CAPS, or lowercase.  Please enter the information correctly.

    For example, do not put an name as "john smith," it should be typed in as John Smith.  Simiarly, the property address should not be written as "1234 main street," if should be written as 1234 Main Street. 

     

    2.  SELLER'S INFORMATION: 

    As stated above, the Buyer's Information is the most Important for you.  It is important that you ensure:

    A. All names are spellled correctly; 

    B.  If there is a middle name for any of the parties, that a middle name is spelled out in full.  The same is true for suffixes such as, Jr. Sr., III, etc.; 

    C.  That you upload any of the required documents if you have the documents readily available.  In the event you do not have the documents readily available, you can provide them to us later;

    D.  Each Buyer must have their own separate email and telephone number; and

    E.  Complete all the information contained in the form.

     

    3. DOCUMENTS/INFORMATION TO GATHER:

    You should have received an email from us with some additional documents you should have prior to filling out the Closing Information Sheet.  As a refresher, please ensure you have the following readly available:

    A.  Lender Information:  Contact information for your lender and a copy of your preapproval letter.  The contact information for your lender should be a direct email address and telephone number of your lender, not a general email address;

    B.  Cash Purchase Information:  Please have a copy of proof of funds, which should set forth that you in fact have the funds available.  Additionally, the proof of funds should also have contact information for the relevant financial instiution that is certifying the funds are available; 

    C.  Appraisals and Inspections:  In the event any appraisals and inspections have already been completed, please have the date of completion, and as well as any reports that were generated available;

    D.  Property Occupancy:  In the event the property is occupied, please have copies of any leases, or other documents, in your possession or provided to you by any previous owner;

    E.  Contact information for the Buyer's attorney if we are not handling both sides of the transaction;

    F.  Due Diligence payment receipts and information;

    G.  Builder Deposit receipts is you are a builder; and

    H.  Copy of the Buyer's preapproval letter, or proof of funds if it is a cash. 

    Please Note: We will request other information from you, and also provide you with additional documents for your signature. This will be provided in a secure link.

  • THE FOLLOWING SELLER WILL SERVE AS THE POINT OF CONTACT FOR THIS TRANSACTION:

  • Maritial Status and Selling Property in North Carolina

     

    In North Carolina, the rule of thumb for married couples is that one spouse may purchase real property, but both spouses must sign the deed to sell property. This is true even if the current deed, or deed of trust, is solely in one spouses name.

    The rationale for this requirement is because in North Carolina a spouse acquires a marital interest in the other spouse’s real property regardless of whether the property was acquired prior to or after you were married.

    For example, if you die, your spouse can claim an elective share in that property regardless of whether their name appears on the deed to that property. Thus, in order to extinguish these marital interests during the sale of real property, the deed conveying the real property must include the signatures of both spouses.

    The same holds true if spouses are legally separated, as the marriage has not been formally resolved, and a divison of assets, including the home, was never completed. 

    The bottom line is that in North Carolina, both spouses must sign a deed to sell or transfer real property!

  • Will both spouses be signing the Seller Closing Documents IN OUR OFFICE? NOTE: Select "Yes" even if you each will be coming in separately to sign the documents in our office. There is no requirement that you come to our office together to sign. Select "No" in the event you would like us to send the documents to you electronically; sign the documents via another notary; or have us arrange for a signing agent who can meet you at your house, work, or any other times outside our normal business hours, including early mornings, nights, and weekends which are convenient for you. (S)*
  • Would you like for us to arrange for a signing agent to meet you at a date and time, and location that is more convenient for you? (S)*
  • Will both spouses be located at the same location at the time of signing of the Seller Documents? NOTE: If you will both be in the presence of a notary for signature at the same time, whether in our office or using a signing agent, select "Yes." In the event you will not be located together to sign the documents, select "No." (S)*
  • SEPARATED COUPLES AND SELLING PROPERTY 

     

    Separation in North Carolina does not mean that you are able to freely sell the property without your spouse having an interest in the property.  As long as you are legally married, even if you are separated, your spouse has marital rights to your real property unless you both have signed an agreement to release their marital rights. 

    The agreement which needs to be drafted is known as a Freetrader Agreement.  A Freetrader Agreement is a legal document that allows a spouse to “freely trade” which includes selling real property after separation. 

    There is no way around selling the property, without your spouse having to sign the deed, without a Freetrader Agreement. (S)

  • Do you currently have a Freetrader Agreement in place? (S)*
  • Do you have a copy of your Freetrader Agreement readily available for upload? If not, don't worry, we an get a copy from you later. (S)*

  • Selling Property When Divorced

     

    As a practical matter one of two things must occur if you are currently divorced from your spouse, and your spouse remains on the Deed of Trust, or the Deed for the property.

    First, the division of assets should have occured at some point during the divorce proceedings.  The division of assets should have addressed the maritial property, with one spouse ordered to execute a Quit Claim Deed, which gives the remaining spouse full interest in the property.  Sometimes, but not often, the Quit Claim Deed is not executed and recorded, which means that the divorced spouse still has an equitible interest in the property. In order to sell the home, the divorced spouse must execute a Quit Claim Deed, and the Quit Claim must be recorded in the county. 

    Second, in the event the property was not divided during the final divorce proceedings, or the divorced spouse does not execute a Quit Claim Deed (and thus still has an equitable interest in the property), the divorced spouse must also sign the deed to transfer ownership. In the alternative, you can petition the court again to divide up the interest in the property, or to force a sale of the property (this is the costliest method to go through with the sale). 

  • Is the spouse who you divorced from currently on the deed, or deed of trust for the property, or has a previous spouse EVER been on the deed for the property? NOTE: This applies to any of the Sellers, and for any previous marriages the Sellers may have had individually, or together. (S)*
  • FORMER SPOUSE CONTACT INFORMATION

NOTE: Please upload a copy of your divorce decree even if the property wasn't given to you as a result of the decree. If you don't have a copy of these documents right now, select "Yes" and we will get it from you later. (S)*
  • How many divorce decrees, or other documents related to the divorce need to be uploaded? NOTE: To the maximum extent possible, please upload the files as one combined file for each divorce. (S)*

  • WHOLESALE OR ASSIGNMENT OF CONTRACT TRANSACTIONS IN NORTH CAROLINA 

     

    Please note that over recent years North Carolina has made some changes to the way a closing can occur when there is an assignment of contract, or wholesaling of the property.  There are two ways to conduct the transaction in order for it to meet the legal requirements in North Carolina. 

    Option 1:  The source of funds must come directly from the Buyer.  What this means is that the Buyer has the cash on hand before closing in order to complete the transaction.  This is known as an A to B transaction.  This does not require disclosure of the wholesale transaction.  The next transaction would occur from B to C to complete the wholesale deal. 

    Option 2:  The Buyer does not have the funds on hand, but will secure the funds from a loan from another party.  This loan is usually what is called a hardmoney lender.  The hard money lender is not a party to the transaction other than providing funds.  In this case, in the event the original offer to purchase was for a cash transaction, an addendum must be drafted to change the offer to a financed offer.  The downside to this is that the Seller can potentially terminate the agreement due to financing. After the A to B transaction, B is then free to sell the property to C. 

    Option 3:  The wholesale transaction can take place with full disclosure to all parties in the transaction.  This is commonly referred to as an A to B and B to C transaction, where C is providing the money to A for the purchase of the property.  In this situtation A, who is the Seller, will be provided full disclosure of the ultimate price C is paying for the property, as well as B's profits.  The same holds true for C being aware of the accepted offer of A. 

    Prohibited Transaction:  North Carolina does not allow C to finance the deal without full disclosure to all parties.  This is expressly prohibited.  

  • SELLER CLOSING PACKAGE SIGNING

     

    As the Seller, there are few documents that will require your actual "wet signature" for completion.  The most important of which is the General Warranty Deed you will sign. 

    Upon execution of your Letter of Engagement with us, we will send all documents to you for signature as soon as possible, so that we have them in our possession well before closing. 

    None of the documents will be provided to the Buyer, Lender, or any other party, until the time is right, and all legal requirements are completed.  For example, although we will have you sign your General Warranty Deed in advance, the General Warranty Deed will be held in trust until closing occurs, at which time it will be recorded.

  • Estoppel Certification

  • What is an Estoppel Certification

     

    An Estoppel Certification is a document that is executed and signed by the tenant, which sets forth the essential terms of the tenancy.  Some of the things that are addressed in an Estoppel Certification include:

    1.  The term of the lease, as well as the expiration;

    2.  The monthly rental amount;

    3.  The location of the tenant security deposit; 

    4.  Any known issues with the property; 

    5.  The payment history of the tenant; and

    6.  A certification that everything in the Estoppel Certification is true, and that no other promises have been made to the tenant. 

    In order to protect the sale of your Property, and to prevent any issues or litigation that might arise after the closing of the property, an Estoppel Certification should be executed whether the Buyer is buying the property as an investment, and will continue to rent out the property to the current tenant or others; or when you are selling the property as a future primary residence, with the expectation that the property will be vacant upon closing.  

    In other words, an Estoppel Certification should be executed whenever there is a tenatn in place.

    We highly recommend you have an Estoppel Certification prepared by our office.

  • Do you have a copy of the Estoppel Certificate readily available that you can upload? NOTE: If you don't have a copy readily available, don't worry, you can upload a copy later. (SO)*

  • SELLER PROCEEDS DISBURSEMENT

  • THE FOLLOWING INDIVIDUAL WILL SERVE AS THE POINT OF CONTACT FOR THE DISBURSEMENT OF FUNDS:

  • How would you like your funds disbursed:*
  • NUMBER TO CALL AND AUTHORIZED PARTY FOR PICKUP

  • Format: (000) 000-0000.
  • WIRE TRANSFER INSTRUCTIONS

  • ROUTING AND ACCOUNT INFORMATION

  • Prior to submitting the wire and account information, please verify you have the correct routing number and account number for your financial institution. 

    ****SOMETIMES, BUT NOT ALWAYS, THERE IS A DIFFERENT WIRE ROUTING NUMBER FOR WIRE TRANSFERS, WHICH DOES NOT MATCH THE ONE ON YOUR CHECK****

    There are four methods to verify wire routing number and account number:

    1. First, you can log into your account and obtain the relevant information; 

    2. Second, you can visit your financial institutions website, which should contain the correct routing information for wire transfers;

    3.  Third, you can obtain the routing number from a check.  The common ways to identify your routing number by check are illustrated below, but again YOU MUST VERIFY THE ROUTING NUMBER ON YOUR CHECK IS ALSO THE ROUTING NUMBER FOR WIRE TRANSFERS; and 

    4.  Fourth You can call, or visit, your financial institution to obtain the correct information.

    We highly suggest you use two methods to verify. In other words, and for example, find your routing and account information on your check, and then call your finanical institution for verification.   

     

    NOTE:  We are not responsible for the delay in the transfer of your funds, or the loss or your funds, in the event you provide us with incorrect account number, or wire transfer information. 

    Returned wire transfers will incur an addititional transaction fee of $100.00.  Additionally, a returned wire transfer may result in our sending proceeds via mail, as opposed to by wire.
