Closing Statement

In short

This document itemizes all funds exchanged and costs incurred by both buyer and seller at the time of closing. It's the final financial summary of the transaction.

What it means in a deal

Your closing statement, often prepared by the escrow agent or attorney, details the purchase price, loan proceeds, equity injection, closing costs, and prorations. Review it carefully before signing to ensure all figures match your understanding and the loan authorization. It's the definitive record of the financial aspects of the deal.
