CLOSING QUESTIONS
What to expect before, during, and after a real estate closing.
Reach out when you have a signed purchase contract or are planning a refinance. Have the property address, your target closing date, and your agent’s or lender’s contact information handy if available.
We examine title, help address issues that turn up, coordinate title insurance and settlement, and arrange recording of the applicable closing documents.
Ask your closing team what your file requires. A current government-issued photo ID is a good starting point. Confirm the amount due, the accepted payment method, and any documents you need to bring before your appointment.
Before sending any wire, always call our Maryland office at 301-530-6060 and confirm the instructions for your file. If a message gives you different banking details, stop and call. See our Wire Instructions page.
Have your property address and expected closing date ready. Tell us about any mortgage or home equity line, any homeowners or condominium association, and whether a trust or business owns the property. Your closing team will explain what documents it needs and how to send them securely.
Yes. We can arrange a mobile closing at your home, office, or another convenient location anywhere in the United States. We verify each signer’s identity before closing. Remote online notarization by video may also be available, depending on the documents and any lender requirements. Contact our team to confirm your options.
Ask your closing team for the timing on your file. Disbursement depends on when the required signing, funding, and any applicable recording steps are complete.
