What Happens at Closing?

Closing is the finish line of your transaction, when documents are signed, money changes hands, and ownership officially transfers. In California, this happens a little differently than in attorney states.

Signing Your Documents

Buyers sign loan and closing documents with a notary, often a few days before closing. Sellers sign the deed and closing paperwork as well.

Funding the Loan

The buyer's lender wires the loan funds to escrow once all conditions are satisfied and documents are signed.

Recording the Deed

Escrow records the new deed with the San Diego County Recorder. In California, recording, not signing, is the moment the sale officially closes.

Getting the Keys

Once recording confirms, funds are released to the seller and the buyer gets the keys. Congratulations are in order.
