Home Buying: Step 9 - Closing Procedure

A few days before you are going to close escrow on your new property and become the legal owner, you have to go and sign all the title and loan documents at the Title Company where escrow was opened (see Step 6).

Again, it is good to have both your mortgage agent and Realtor here with you (as we always are) as there could very easiley be questions or even mistakes in the documents. At the least you will feel better knowing that we are there even if there are no problems, which ususally there is not.

Signing the docments at escrow can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour or longer. Everyone is different when signing.
