learn how to read and interpret your settlement statement
What Is a Closing Statement?
It’s a final document from the title company that shows exactly where al the money is going — and what you will receive after everything is paid. Think of it like a receipt for the home sale.
💰 Here’s What You’ll See on It
Purchase Price – The amount we agreed to pay for your house
Mortgage Payoff – What’s still owed on your home (title company pays this off for you)
Property Taxes (Prorated) – You pay your share of taxes based on how long you owned the home this year
Closing Costs – These are paid by us (Double Key Solutions)
Net Proceeds to You – What you walk away with after everything is handled
