A Scheduled Closing
Once your closing is scheduled, it is important that you remain in contact with the closing agent and your realtor to determine that they have received everything they need in order to complete the closing. Your lender and closing agent should work together to make certain that you understand exactly how much money to bring to closing, and should make available to you a copy of the settlement statement prior to closing. The lender, closing agent, and your agent should be in touch with you as necessary, but I recommend that you remain in contact with them throughout the process. You are much more likely to solve problems early and close on time. It is best to arrive at the closing agent or attorney's office early, in case you are delayed in any way. Many people must work together to orchestrate the closing, and it only takes one party to delay the entire process.
