Understanding Closing Costs
Closing costs are an essential part of the home buying process and understanding them early helps avoid surprises at the closing table. These costs typically range from 2 to 5 percent of the purchase price and include lender fees, title services, escrow charges, taxes, insurance, and recording fees. Buyers may also see costs related to appraisals, inspections, and prepaid items such as homeowners insurance and property taxes.
The Jeanetta Caradonna Group helps buyers review estimated closing costs well before closing day so there is time to plan and ask questions. Buyers often have opportunities to negotiate certain costs or request seller concessions depending on market conditions. Knowing which fees are fixed and which are flexible can make a meaningful difference in final out of pocket expenses.
By working closely with trusted lenders and title professionals, Jeanetta Caradonna ensures buyers receive clear, accurate estimates and understand where every dollar goes. This transparency allows buyers to budget confidently, avoid last minute stress, and arrive at closing prepared and informed.


The Home Closing Timeline Explained
The closing timeline typically spans 30 to 45 days from the time an offer is accepted, although timelines can vary based on financing, inspections, and negotiations. During this period, several key milestones occur including the home inspection, appraisal, title search, underwriting, and final loan approval.
The Jeanetta Caradonna Group carefully manages each step of this timeline, keeping buyers informed and on track. Deadlines for inspections, contingencies, and document submissions are closely monitored to prevent delays. Clear communication between lenders, inspectors, attorneys, and title companies is essential to maintaining momentum.
Buyers are guided on what to expect week by week so there are no surprises. Whether scheduling inspections or reviewing loan conditions, Jeanetta Caradonna provides proactive support and reminders. By the time closing day arrives, buyers feel confident knowing each requirement has been completed properly and on time.
This structured, hands on approach helps ensure a smooth closing.
What a Title Company Does for Buyers
The title company plays a critical role in protecting buyers during the closing process. Their primary responsibility is to verify that the property’s title is clear of liens, disputes, or ownership issues. This process includes a thorough title search and the issuance of title insurance, which protects both the buyer and lender from future claims.
In addition to title research, the title company coordinates escrow services, manages funds, prepares legal documents, and records the final deed. They act as a neutral third party ensuring all financial and legal requirements are completed accurately and securely. The Jeanetta Caradonna Group works with reputable title companies known for reliability and clear communication. Buyers are introduced to the title team early so they understand the process and feel comfortable asking questions. Jeanetta Caradonna reviews settlement statements with buyers to ensure accuracy and clarity before signing.
By partnering with experienced title professionals, the Jeanetta Caradonna Group helps buyers close with confidence, knowing their ownership rights are fully protected.


How Title Insurance Protects Your Investment
Title insurance is one of the most important protections a homebuyer receives at closing. Unlike other insurance policies that protect against future events, title insurance protects against past issues that may surface after purchase. These issues can include unknown liens, recording errors, boundary disputes, or undisclosed heirs. Lenders require a lender’s title policy, but buyers are strongly encouraged to purchase an owner’s title policy as well. This one time cost provides lifetime protection for as long as the buyer owns the home. Without it, resolving title disputes can be costly and stressful.
The Jeanetta Caradonna Group ensures buyers understand the value of title insurance and how it safeguards their investment. Buyers are guided through policy options and coverage details so they can make informed decisions. Jeanetta Caradonna works closely with title companies to confirm coverage is in place before closing.
This proactive approach gives buyers peace of mind knowing their ownership is legally protected from unforeseen title issues.
What Happens on Closing Day
Closing day is the final step in the home buying journey and involves signing legal documents, transferring funds, and officially recording ownership. Buyers will review and sign loan documents, the closing disclosure, and title paperwork. Once funds are disbursed and the deed is recorded, the home officially becomes theirs.
The Jeanetta Caradonna Group prepares buyers well in advance so closing day feels straightforward and stress free. Buyers receive guidance on what to bring, how long the appointment will take, and what documents they will sign. Any final questions are addressed before sitting at the table.
Jeanetta Caradonna remains available throughout the closing to ensure everything proceeds smoothly. If questions arise from the lender or title company, they are handled promptly. This hands on support ensures buyers feel confident and supported during one of the most important moments of the transaction. Closing can be a frustrating time, but with professional help from the Caradonna team, you will find peace of mind throughout the closing.
