NWR-for you home owners

How long did the day of closing take? We are closing (as of now) on friday and want to know how long the actual closing meeting takes. I am soooo nervous. butterflies have taken over my stomach.

eta: sooo I got a call from FH...the bank 'forgot' to do their own inspection and now we can't close for another week or so..

Just a couple hours......

ETA: but our whole buying process was a disaster. There were two sellers of the house that didn't want to talk to each other.........

i know my law firm schedules closings for every 2 hours (930, 1130, 130 and 330) and it's usually not a problem... i'd say on average 1.5 hours.

Re: NWR-for you home owners

ours was pretty quick i think we actually did it in just under 1.5 hours!
bring a good pen and some motrin (all the stress of the seeing all the $$$ on paper gave me a headache, )

Re: NWR-for you home owners

we were there for 2 hours signing the papers, but I think for us it went a little longer because we were buying the house from people FH's knew so they were talking for a while and the lady at the mortgage company was someone FH knew also so that was more talking going on

Re: NWR-for you home owners

If everyone has their $h!t together 1.5 maybe 2 hours. We own more than one house. Our second closing went 3.5 hours because the bank lawer was a moron!
It is a bit of a pain in the a$$, well worth doing. You really can't go wrong owning real estate. Good luck!
