Closing Day Surprises: How to Avoid Last-Minute Delays

There’s nothing more frustrating than a delayed closing. For clients, it can mean rescheduled movers or added costs. For professionals, it can mean damaged trust. Luckily, most surprises can be prevented with proactive communication and the right title partner.

Common Closing Day Delays

Examples include unsigned documents, last-minute funding problems, or unresolved title issues.

The Role of Communication

Regular and timely updates ensure everyone stays on the same page and avoids stressful surprises.

The Title Partner’s Role

Title companies identify potential red flags early and keep the closing process on schedule.

Why This Matters for Realtors, Lenders, Investors, and Builders

• Realtors: Set client expectations and double-check paperwork early.

• Lenders: Confirm wire transfers and funding timelines well ahead of closing.

• Investors: Anticipate delays by choosing experienced partners for complex deals.

• Builders: Avoid construction-related surprises with early title review.
