Who is involved at closing?

---

You, of course, will be in attendance, along with (in most cases) a representative of your lender, called a closing officer, or a representative of the title insurance company.

The closing officer’s job is to make sure that all necessary documents are signed and verified and that the money from the sale is properly distributed.

In many cases, you may also have your own attorney attend the closing. Sometimes, the sellers will be present, along with any real estate agents involved in the sale.

It is common, for buyers and sellers to complete their paperwork in separate rooms and never see each other on the day of closing.
