Closings could be stressful! Especially if you do everything remotely like we do.
There are so many moving parts to a real estate closing, from your lender, attorney, real estate brokers, insurance company, closing company, wire transfers and more – everything must line-up for a pre-defined date.
So how do you manage all of that with no stress?
The answer is planning…
- First make sure that all the players are aware of the schedule. Don’t assume that they know, validate with them (and more than once)
- Take your buffers – define some deadlines for you and your vendors and ask your vendors to comply
- Have a backup plan. If something will not work according to the plan, make sure you have a backup plan – It is guaranteed that not everything will work as per the plan
We usually have a few backup plans for some of the moving parts – we provide our representative in the closing a Power of Attorney so he could sign on our behalf if there are any last-minute changes.

We also make sure that we have sufficient funds in our bank account to count for any unforeseen expenses that were missed in the HUD 1 document.
We submit the loan documents before closing to ensure that the lender is satisfied with the docs.
By taking those simple steps you can make your closings a walk in the park rather than your nightmare…
Happy Closing!!!
