Home Buying Closing Day Marathon: Navigating the Final Steps to Your Home Buying Process

Congratulations, you’ve survived the negotiation showdown! Now, it’s time to sign what feels like a million documents. The closing process is like the final lap of a marathon; you’re tired, you’ve been through a lot, but the finish line is in sight.
