A Closing Agent is a professional who facilitates the final steps in a real estate transaction. Their primary role is to ensure that all necessary documents are prepared, signed, and filed correctly. They coordinate between the buyer, seller, and other parties involved, such as lenders and title companies, to ensure a smooth closing process.
During the closing meeting, the Closing Agent reviews the closing statement, explains the terms of the sale, and ensures that funds are properly distributed. They also handle the transfer of ownership by recording the deed with the appropriate government office, making the transaction official for both the buyer and seller.
