- * An additional document preparation fee of $300 applies if you obtain a second mortgage (i.e., home equity line of credit) simultaneously with your transaction.
- ** IMPORTANT: Due to the numerous documents required to be signed by borrowers and the lender-imposed signature rules, borrower remote closings pose a significant risk to the borrower. Original wet-ink documents must be signed and returned to our offices no later than the date of closing. Additionally, a missing signature, initial, improper document date, or improper notarization would nullify the closing and require and re-scheduling of the closing date; the result of which may jeopardize the borrower’s timely performance under the terms of their loan commitment put them at risk of losing their interest rate lock. Note also that many mortgage lenders prohibit the practice of borrower remote closings/signings.
