TIL a 45-minute closing is possible if everyone has their coffee ready
We had a cash buyer from out of town who needed to close on a condo in Tampa before his flight, so my title agent, the buyer's attorney, and I all jumped on a video call at 8 AM sharp. Everyone had the docs pre-signed and notarized, and the wire hit before we even finished our mugs. Has anyone else pulled off a closing under an hour, or was this just a perfect storm?

Honestly, a smooth closing is all about prep work. I read an article where a title company said 90% of delays are from missing paperwork, not the actual signing. Getting everyone on the same page ahead of time is the real win.

Managed a 38-minute closing on a lake cabin last fall. The key was having the lender send the final CD a full day early, so all the figures were locked. We did a dry run the night before to flag any last-minute changes. Honestly, it just takes one person not reading their email to throw the whole thing off.

Dry runs are a game changer. That prep work is what makes a fast closing even possible.
