Closing, and then sum

We closed on Tuesday, just as scheduled. The closing was very smooth, and plenty of signatures. The closing afent was friendly, and informative. She went did a once over each document and was able to fully explain each document as needed. The HUD1 matched the draft, which almost matched the all the GFE and TIL. The only thing not previously disclosed was a survey fee, which was minimal. The terms was as I locked so I am pleased with that. All items were fixed or address with the house by the builder we found previously during the final inspection. We are busy moving in and finding the perfect spots for our stuff. I was going to do the blind/shades etc myself, but, i am deciding to let home depot come out measure, install etc for me. I decided to let someone else do that to be sure it is right, besides there are a bunch of windows and door, so to me the 118 dollars will be well spent. Guardian tech came and hooked up the alarm system, verizon fios installed, and so happy family. My wife bought me a grill, so i can finally cook out again, yess, i just gotta put the darn thing together now.

Final walk through

I did the final walk through yesterday. Everything seemed pretty much in order. A few small places needing touch ups. The builder went over the warranties and his policies to ensure customer satisfaction. I really like how he went over everything. Another thing to note is that the deal and everything stayed the same from the sales rep, through everyone to this point, and i have been using NVR for everything like a one stop shop. No suprises, and the only one that i can even raise an eyebrow to so far would be the underwriter. But they are just doing their job to make sure all is right, but really, a letter from my parents say i was with them for a short time while i was waiting for a job trasfer... what ever. So now we have a clear to close, a HUD1 draft, and no surprises or crazy undisclosed fees, except 1, a surve fee. It was minimal so no worries. Again, they are performing as promised. So we are all set to close Tuesday. So here is a quick list of things we noticed that i am assured will be fixed by closing. Some scratches on the cabinets, they will touch up or replace, some paint over spray to be cleaned, a few marks on the walls, and the big one, the jetted tub not jetting. So i guess the plumber is coming over this weekend. The other thing is the easy access door to the commo panel with Guardian i was promised. Not there yet... contacted the sales rep and he responded with a i will have to check Monday. So we will see how that goes.
