Finalizing and Closing the Transaction

Finalizing the process includes reviewing all closing documents and ensuring that the Seller and the Buyer have copies of all paperwork.

Closing - Closing is usually held at a title company, and all final sales papers are signed at Closing.  The buyer's mortgage lender sends the loan funds by wire transfer, and the deed is recorded in the new owner's name. When the transaction has closed, you will receive the closing check, and the keys are provided to the new owner.
