The closing process when selling to Mountain View Ventures is very similar to a traditional sale.

Closing Steps

1. Pack/Clean and Remove All Personal Belongings

Make sure the home, yard, and exterior are completely empty of all personal possessions/items, unless they were specified to be left behind in the contract. Don’t worry about deep cleaning—broom-swept is fine.

What to leave behind

• Built-in appliances, extra keys, and remotes can stay in the home. Anything attached to the house should remain with it, unless your contract specifies to take it with you.

• If you'd like, you can leave extra paint, tiles, or flooring. Just be sure to notify your Mountain View Ventures Expert first.

Not sure if something should stay or go? Call or email your Mountain View Ventures Expert to get help.

2. Final Walkthrough

On the day of or the day prior to the official closing date, Mountain View Ventures will have a final walkthrough of your property to ensure everything is in order and that the property is in the same condition as when the contract was signed.

3. Keep your utilities on

Please schedule your utilities to remain active for 3 days after your move-out date. We use that time to make sure we can get all accounts transferred to Mountain View Ventures’s name. We do our best to have all utilities transferred on the day you close.

4. Forward your mail

In case you haven’t already, please contact the USPS to forward your mail to your new address. Also, please be aware of any packages that may be coming soon from shipping services such as UPS and FedEx. Consider contacting them directly to make the necessary arrangements.

5. Leave your keys

You can leave keys and other related items (mail key, pool key, gate key, garage opener, appliance warranties) on the kitchen counter before you leave. Don't forget to lock the door on your way out!

You can also bring the house keys to the closing with you. If you have any questions or you aren't sure where to leave keys, call or email your Mountain View Ventures Expert.

6. Close and move!

Once you complete these steps, you should be ready to close and move. Show up to the agreed-upon closing location (usually at an attorney or title company office), sign all the required paperwork, and most importantly—get paid! Congratulations, and thank you for entrusting us with life's most important transaction. If anything comes up, you can always get in touch with your Mountain View Ventures Expert. We're here to help.

P.S. Need a few extra days to pack and move after you close?

Contact Us to ask about our leaseback solutions. You'll have the option to stay in the home after you close so you can have a seamless transition to your next home. A rental fee and refundable security deposit may apply.

Yes! While homeowners can work directly with us, we know that many want the support of a trusted agent throughout their journey.

Here are three benefits of having your agent partner with Mountain View Ventures:

• Can help manage your buying and selling timelines: Buying and selling at the same time can be a complex process. While Mountain View Ventures can help you combine buying and selling, a great agent can support you when faced with this process as well.

• Act as your representative throughout the process: Your agent will be the primary contact for your Mountain View Ventures transaction. They will communicate all information from Mountain View Ventures.

• Provide peace of mind: No move is without stress. One thing commonly heard from clients after a completed sale is that their agent provided guidance and peace of mind in times of need.

Mountain View Ventures will always strive to go above and beyond for clients – in any case. You can direct your agent to contact Mountain View Ventures for more information.
