The Closing Process

Preparing for closing

Several important steps need to be taken in the final weeks before the closing. The title company carries out some of these, including conducting a title search and preparing to issue title insurance. Most of this time, however, is needed by your lender in order to approve your loan and prepare the corresponding documents.

You can deal directly with the escrow officer or loan officer if you have any questions regarding these steps, but your REALTOR® can also assist in keeping you informed and working to resolve issues which might arise.
