“Closing” refers to the closing of a real estate transaction. During a traditional closing, the mortgage loan paperwork will be pushed through and approved. A company called an “escrow” company will be responsible for collecting the funds from the mortgage company. You will be sending your down payment to this escrow company, usually either in the form of a cashier’s check or wire transfer. Once all the funds have been released to the escrow company, the paperwork will be signed and you will receive your deed and keys. Usually you, your agent, the seller and the seller’s agent will all meet together to sign the appropriate documents at once.
The closing process can take anywhere from a few days to a few months depending on the type of property you are purchasing. A conventional sale will usually take a couple of weeks, while a foreclosure or short sale could take months. It’s important to be very proactive about the process throughout and not to make any decisions that could potentially alter your credit score.
