Here is another point for you to consider. In my business,
it is rare that I go to closings anymore since the whole
closing process is outsourced. The funds from the closing
are directly wired to an account for us so we get paid right
away.
If I do go to a closing, I don’t go at the same time as the
buyers. I usually go right after they are done with all their
paperwork. The paperwork on a closing for a buyer is fairly
time consuming and needs to be explained to the buyer by
the title agent. I don’t like sitting at closings for an hour or
more until I need to sign my documents. If you have done
your due diligence and followed all the steps in the closing
process, there isn’t really anything that can go wrong at the
last minute, so breath easy but expect the worst.
Then when you get through the closing, cash your check
or make sure your wire has arrived and go to dinner to
celebrate!! For more information on Real Estate Investing

"Check the numbers! If there is a Realtor fee involved make sure the percentages are correct.
Check the pro rated amounts you are being charged for property taxes or association fees. When
you close on a property during the year, say in June and property taxes are due in October; you
have to reimburse the buyer for the property taxes from January until the closing date in June
since they didn’t own the property during that time period. The same would go for any
association fees there might be. You will have to reimburse the buyer for the period during the
month that they did not own the property. Double check to make sure these figure are correct."
