5) Recorded Deed or Deed Receipt (the deed receipt can be anything showing the deed was sent to be recorded, such as, a receipt from the e-recording or the recording office along with a copy of the Deed, a copy of the mailing label addressed to the recording office along with a copy of the Deed, a copy of the check made payable to the recording office along with a copy of the Deed or the recording check clearly listed on the Disbursement Log along with a copy of the Deed)

Below are some very helpful tips on how to make sure the closing process is expedited as quickly as possible. If you should have any questions please don't hesitate to ask:

If the buyer needs utilities activated/property dewinterized in order to conduct inspections/appraisals, please make sure that you contact your Field Service Manager as soon as possible. In order to find out who that is, please go to www.hudhomestore.com and click on Property Contacts at the top of the page. Type in your case # or property address and your Field Service Manager will be clearly referenced. The FSM websites are listed below for additional information depending on which one your property is assigned to:

Utility Activation BLM

Please note that if the purchaser is obtaining FHA203b or 203k financing, HUD will procure a Lead Based Paint inspection for properties built prior to 1978. Closing may not occur until the inspection and a Clearance Certificate has been obtained or a proper credit for stabilization of deteriorated Lead Based Paint has occurred, depending on the type of FHA financing selected. Please note that this process may take weeks to complete. Please follow up with me before scheduling your closing to get confirmation that the proper procedures concerning Lead Based Paint have been completed. You may refer to the LBP Disclosure Addendum enclosed in your contract for more information
