Common Questions
What is a closing date?
The date on which you complete the purchase or sale of a property. The closing date is agreed upon in the purchase contract. A closing begins when the agreement is signed and ends when the property changes owners.
Who Pays Closing Fees in My State?
Generally, the buyer pays most of the closing fees. In some states, the buyer and seller share the costs. In others, the seller is responsible for the closing fees. The party that pays the closing expenses is negotiable. A motivated buyer or seller may agree to pay all escrow closing fees as a way to finalize the deal.
