The closing process in Texas is similar to the general process used throughout the United States, but some details vary. For example, it is customary in Texas to close transactions at the title company office, whereas in other areas, most closings might take place at the broker’s or attorney’s office. This Closing and Settlements Costs Course utilizes interactive technology and audio in an appealing way to facilitate the learning of the closing process in Texas. This course will introduce the student to the closing statement (also called a “settlement statement) is a document that provides a detailed list of each party’s expenses as well as how much he or she has already contributed to the transaction thus far. This statement also provides an accounting of the final amount that the buyer must bring to the closing. To complete a closing or settlement statement properly, one must know which principal is responsible for each transaction expense. A licensee must also have a clear understanding of credits and debits and should know how to prorate expenses that must be divided between the principals.
Upon completion of this course the student will:
•Know the Texas guidelines for calculating settlement expenses.
•Be able to fill out the HUD-1 Settlement Statement.
•Be able to outline the primary concerns that arise throughout the closing process, for both the buyer and the seller.
•Know what both the buyer and the seller must do to prepare for the closing date.
