A closing agent, also known as a settlement agent, is the person who makes sure all deals are closed in an effortless way for all parties. They ensure comfort and a thorough following of all procedures.
Closing agents don't only convince the client to take that final step; they also have a series of responsibilities to take care of including:
- Ensure all parties understand the instructions of the deal
- Fill up all important legal documents
- Guarantee all parties have access to all the needed documents
- Take care of the transactions
- Ensure that lenders get their money from the new owner
