Remember, the settlement agent will do what he/she is instructed to in writing.  Those instructions come not only from the contract and any addendums, but also from the lender.

To prepare for the closing, the Settlement Agent should:

• Review all closing instructions.

• Do a checklist review.

• Secure information (loan number, etc.).

• Schedule time and place for Buyer & Seller.

• Review Title Insurance requirements.

• Review Title Exceptions

• Review Documents.
