Key Takeaways:

  • Closings almost always happen at a title company, or at least in the presence of a title representative.

  • Closing will take, at minimum, 20 minutes but usually take 1-2 hours, sometimes longer.

  • Most people let the mortgage company pay the property taxes and insurance rather than keep track of it themselves. That money goes into escrow, to which money is added at closing.

  • Realtor commissions are not paid until closing.
