"Closing day is the final stage of the real estate transaction, and if you're the one selling your home you may have asked yourself, what do I need to bring to the closing as a seller? Typically, you'll need a government-issued ID, all keys and access codes, the signed closing statement, and any repair receipts or agreements. Depending on your situation, you may also need mortgage payoff details, recent utility bills, HOA documents, or notarized forms if you're closing remotely."
"Duration: The closing typically takes 1-2 hours, though time can vary based on if everything is in order versus delays in document review or fund transfers. Document signing: You'll sign closing documents that finalizes the sale, including the deed transfer, closing statement, and settlement forms. Funds transfer: Once everything is signed, your mortgage payoff, closing costs, and agent commissions are deducted, and the remaining proceeds are wired to you."
