What is a house "closing"?
|
|
The so-called "closing" is the final transfer of the house to the buyer. It occurs after both the seller and the buyer have met all the terms of the contract and the deed has been recorded. Closing also refers to the time when the transfer will occur, such as "the closing on my house will happen on January 27 at 10:00 a.m."
The event referred to as the closing frequently takes place at the office of the professional who handles the transaction, such as a title officer or real estate lawyer.
