What Happens at Closing
Closing is handled by the title company. You sign documents, the buyer signs documents, and the title company handles the transfer of ownership and funds.
Who Is in the Room
- You (the seller)
- The buyer (sometimes represented by their agent)
- The title company closing officer
- Optionally: your attorney, your broker
What You Sign
- Deed transferring ownership
- Settlement statement (HUD-1 or closing disclosure)
- Any required affidavits
- Title company documents
When You Get Paid
Funds are typically wired to your bank account the same day or next business day after closing. The title company deducts closing costs, any mortgage payoff, and agreed credits from your proceeds.
