Your attorney will have reviewed the settlement statement as well as the other documents prior to the closing day - and you, the seller, attend the closing on your behalf and make sure everything goes smoothly. Once the buyer's side has closed, the buyer's attorney will record the deed at the courthouse (normally the next business day) and then will disburse funds. However, the buyer will have possession of the property once they have signed all documents and prior to the deed being recorded at the courthouse.
The buyer's attorney will arrange for the mortgages to be paid off and for any other items to be paid off from the seller's proceeds at closing. If you are receiving additional money back from closing, your attorney will either wire transfer those funds to you (or to your closing attorney if you are purchasing another house) or you can stop by his/her office to pick up your closing check.
And that’s it! Congratulations on a successful sale. Thank you for trusting me to sell your home.
