Closings are a viable and convenient alternative for home buyers and sellers, but occasionally do run into issues. If you're using a top-notch real estate attorney, then chances are you'll have the smoothest closing experience possible. However, if you're going through a less than stellar lender or realtor, e-Closings might be a better alternative—especially if the issues that come up can quickly be resolved by your attorney. In the end, it's your choice to decide which path you want to take in your home-buying journey. Just make sure you ask for references from people who have gone down one path as to how smooth their closing was.
There's almost nothing traditional about home-buying in today's crowded and competitive market. The good news, though, is that you have options. One of the most effective of these options is e-Closing, a convenient new service that allows you to close on your home from wherever you are. All you need is a device with a webcam, microphone, and speakers. It also helps to have a second person in the room who can answer questions as needed, but isn’t required. That second person should also be an agent of your bank or closing company; needless to say, you should never provide your social security number to anyone but a legitimate representative of these companies. Communication is key in both correctly following these guidelines and ensuring that the closing process itself goes smoothly. For more detail, please refer to the info-graphic below.
