You are a paralegal coordinating the closing of Massachusetts property being sold by Evelyn and Frank (Sellers) to Grace and Hope (Buyers). Your firm represents the buyers and lender and will be acting as Settlement Agent. Details of the transaction are as follows:

  • The property address is 200 Liberty Street, Soldasis, Massachusetts in Middlesex County.
  • The purchase price is $500,000.00 and Buyers have already submitted a deposit of $25,000.00 being held by the listing agent in escrow.
  • Buyers will be financing the purchase with a mortgage loan from Generic Mortgage in the amount of $450,000.00.
  • The closing date will be September 1, 2021.
  • Property taxes are $3650.00 for the year and have been paid in full through the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2021 by Sellers. Like most Massachusetts towns, the Soldasis bills taxes quarterly and the fiscal year starts on July 1.
