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
