We will complete rental and mortgage verification for all of your residences within the last two years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DO <\/strong>obtain homeowner\u2019s insurance with minimum coverage equal to the amount of your total loan or the replacement value of the house. Call\u00a0your lender\u00a0with your agent\u2019s name and phone number at least 10 days before closing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DO<\/strong> keep documentation (or a \u201cpaper trail\u201d) on any large deposits into your account. A \u201cpaper trail\u201d is composed of the copies of all paperwork necessary to prove a financial transaction: copies of all checks, deposit slips, loan paperwork, forms to liquidate assets, etc.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DO <\/strong>notify us if you move<a title=\"closing funds\" href=\"https:\/\/dev203k.orbitwebx.com\/dev203k\/making-sure-your-cash-to-close-comes-from-the-proper-source\/\"> funds <\/a>from one account to another.
