The closing process

Know the steps. Ask the right questions.

Every transaction has its own details. This overview helps you understand the common stages and the people to involve.

Start with the transaction

Confirm the property, parties and intended closing date. Identify your agent, lender if applicable, attorney and closing-team contact. Ask how requested records should be delivered.

Review the title and requirements

The title review helps identify matters to address. A payoff, missing release or ownership question may require additional documents or professional review. Ask what remains outstanding and who is handling it.

Prepare documents and funds

Review documents in advance. Confirm the final amount and approved method for bringing funds with trusted contacts. Never rely on a last-minute email change to wire instructions.

Attend the signing

Confirm the location, time, identification and people who must attend. Tell the team early if you need an accommodation, interpretation or a different signing arrangement. Do not assume every remote option is available.

Confirm what happens afterward

Ask when funding, disbursement and recording are expected and how to obtain your final documents. Signing does not automatically mean every remaining step has been completed. Keep the appropriate contact information for follow-up.
