SIGNING: refers to the act of officially putting your signature on a document to acknowledge, approve, or agree to the terms and conditions outlined in it. In the context of real estate and home buying/selling, signing typically happens during several important steps:
✅ Offer Agreement – When you agree to purchase or sell a home, you sign a contract outlining the terms.
✅ Closing Documents – Finalizing the sale, including deeds, loan agreements, and disclosure forms.
✅ Mortgage Papers – Agreeing to the terms of your loan with the lender.
✅ Inspection and Repair Agreements – Acknowledging any changes to the property's condition or agreements with the seller.
The signature legally binds you to the document and its terms, so always read through everything before signing!
