Colonial landmarks, contemporary living Click here for New Providence Listings
Although New Providence was first settled in 1720, its real development did not begin until the 1950’s. While a number of historic structures remain, the borough is characterized by sheltered cul-de-sacs, spacious lawns and homes built for the active, modern family. Recreational programs and facilities are plentiful and the public schools are the community’s pride. A lively village center offers a mix of retail shops, personal services and a diverse choice of restaurants. New York City is an easy commute via bus or by rail.

Closing or Settlement >Closing Questions
Because of the complexity of a real estate transaction, questions and concerns arise frequently for those who are buying or selling a home. Most people experience a degree of stress at the closing of the sales transaction. Both parties are probably feeling nervous and vulnerable as they sign the papers, and may even be fighting off an attack of buyer's or seller's remorse.
Even though you may be inclined to just sign the papers, it is a good idea to check the paperwork and ask any questions that come to mind. If you are signing a mortgage or deed of trust, be sure to review the document carefully. Check the spelling of your name, the property address and all of the inserted items for accuracy. Since much of the paperwork is prepared on short notice, mistakes are occasionally made. They are usually easier to fix while you are still at the title office, so don't be shy about asking questions before you sign on the dotted line.
