Your lender usually arranges the closing and makes sure that the closing agent has all the necessary documents in place. Traditional closings usually take place at the title or escrow company, but can sometimes take place at an attorney’s office.

However, the title service recommended by YELLOW provides remote closings, so you may not have to travel anywhere to close.
