The Agent you choose REALLY does make a difference

Very rarely, though when it comes,  is a very nice gesture.

In CA, they do not ever attend closing, rarely a doc signing. We usually receive a confirmation via email from escrow: closed! congratulations!

I have been in business 15 years and have NEVER had a loan officer at a closing.  Most of the time like 90% of the time the loan package is late from the lender these days.

My preferred lender is there at all of our closings.  I think he's maybe missed one out of thirty or so in the last few years, and that's because he was out of town.

In this area, any lender or buyers agent that feels that business depends on relationships is at the closing.  Yes there are scheduling problems that happen, but it is easy to tell when the buyer is doing business with a good support team that is working for them past the immediate closing.

When I used a local lender he attended most all closings.  Now, my lender is not local ... but times and technology have changed and I don't see a need for a lender to be present at closing.
