Important information for sellers + real estate agents
We recommend all sellers take advantage of remote closing to securely and safely sign closing documents. Review the contents of this page to learn more, and contact us to make arrangements for your online closing at no additional cost.
We’ve partnered with Stavvy to bring you REAL online closings – a faster, simpler and more secure way to close your real estate transaction.
How it works
Sellers and all-cash buyers may contact us to request a remote closing. Borrowers must get lender approval first. Sellers, all-cash buyers and borrowers with lender approval will receive an email invitation that includes the date and time for your remote closing and a link to the virtual signing room.
When you enter the remote closing room, your web cam will automatically turn on and you will be joined for your remote closing by a licensed attorney from Federal Title. All parties to the transaction may enter the remote closing room by clicking the link, including your real estate agent and lender.
You will first verify your identity through knowledge-based authentication, which includes questions about your life that are similar to the ones asked when applying for a home loan or credit card online.
After the attorney confirms your answers are correct, you will be asked to verify your ID such as a driver’s license, identification card or passport.
Once your identity and ID are verified, your attorney will guide you through the signing process.
You’re remote closing is complete! Once you’ve completed your final signature, you’re finished. The attorney will take care of notarizing and delivering the completed documents.
“It was a simple, easy and pleasurable experience. No driving, parking cars and racing to the meeting and then doing all again in the return!”
