Today I had a closing in South Jersey with a Hockey player from the Phillidelphia Flyers. All went smooth and quick.

Here is a way to have a closing with the least amount of inconvenience.

Both my seller and their attorney did not come to the closing. All documents were signed and mailed overnight.

At a closing both buyer and seller are required to sign a HUD1 form. This form provides you with a breakdown of settlement fees, mortgage fees, credits, realtor commission... Without my sellers at the closing what we did was fax a copy to their attorney, who had a power of attorney, who signed it for my client and faxed it right back to the settlement clerk. THAT'S IT. Nice and smooth without any inconvenience to my client.

So if you would like to have a settlement like this just let your realtor and or attorney know this in advance so you can move on with your life.
