A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A CLOSER:

In this class, you will have a better understanding of all the different types of things that go on behind the scenes between the settlement agent and lender. There are so many different people that have their "hands" in a transaction. They say that over 50 different hands touch a purchase file that has financing. With this knowledge, they will recognize why certain things happen when they do in this very "time sensitive" world of settlements.
