Most people don’t. And that can lead to some uneasiness. But help is here. The American Land Title Association^®, or ALTA^®, has created a website featuring information every homebuyer can use to help familiarize themselves with the closing process before walking into the closing.

At Home Closing 101 you will find information you can use to prepare yourself for closing. The site covers topics such as title insurance, escrow fees and closing costs. So when the time comes to sign on the dotted line you’ll feel fully prepared.

Home Closing 101 is especially helpful for first time buyers. Buying a house is an exciting time and the more you know about the process, the more relaxed you’ll be going through it. Spend a little time on the site and you can walk through the home-buying process, receiving explanations for each step and helpful hints on how to find the right people to help you on your journey to homeownership.
