How does closing (escrow) work?

Just like any other real estate closing, you’ll receive required closing disclosures at least three days prior to closing. From there, the closing attorney or title company will schedule a convenient time for you to sign the closing documents. If you are closing on your old home, you will also need to bring any keys that you may have to the house. If you are unable to attend the closing in person, other arrangements may be available. On the close date, the transaction is recorded on the public record and the closing attorney distributes funds.
