My Idea of the Perfect Tennessee Real Estate Closing!

February 26, 2008

As a real estate closing attorney with offices in Memphis and Chattanooga I get to experience may wonderful home closings, and a few that I’d rather not discuss here. But my idea of the perfect settlement would go something like this:

Myself, the Buyers and their Agent, the sellers and their agent, and the lender (just in case) all arrive to the table 15 minutes early. We all discuss the buyers future plans, discuss where the sellers are moving, show each other pictures of our children, and once we are done get down to closing.

Everyone has already seen the HUD since the package got to my office yesterday. The buyers love the rate and term of their loan. The sellers take their proceeds and embark on life’s next great journey. The wire is in, keys are exchanged, we all hug, shake hands, and after 45 minutes total settlement time, live happily ever after.

Fortunately we’re very lucky in that most of our closings go very similar to this. And I’d like to thank all of the tireless agents, brokers and buyers and sellers who help make this happen. Not to mention my hardworking partner and employees.
