Get Ready for Signing Day

A Few Days Before

  • Answer requests from your lender and settlement team.
  • Check that your name is spelled correctly.
  • Review your closing documents.
  • Ask questions about anything you do not understand.
  • Confirm who must sign.

The Day Before

Buyers should complete the final walk-through. Sellers should prepare the property, keys, remotes, and access codes.

  • Confirm the appointment date, time, and location
  • Confirm the identification you must bring
  • Confirm the final amount needed for closing
  • Confirm the approved way to send your funds
  • Gather any original documents you need

Protect Your Money

Never trust wiring instructions received only by email. Call the settlement company using a trusted phone number. Verify every number before sending money. Stop and call if the instructions suddenly change.

On Signing Day

  • Arrive on time.
  • Bring acceptable, unexpired identification.
  • Keep your phone nearby.
  • Read each document.
  • Ask questions before signing.
  • Follow the signing instructions carefully.

After Signing

The documents and funds may still need to be reviewed, approved, and recorded. Wait for confirmation before releasing keys, taking possession, or spending expected proceeds.

At Caelora Settlement Services, we help make signing day easier to understand.
