You made it!!! Your loan was approved and the documents were released to escrow. Ok, this is when the process gets way more fluid. Escrow will give you about a 24-hour to two-day notice before signing your final documents. In Washington state, signing happens a couple of days before closing. You need to be prepared to receive and wire the final amount needed for your down payment and/or closing costs. Our advice during this phase is to be flexible. Let your job know you need to take time off to sign final documents for your home.

Escrow is a neutral third party who is responsible for managing the transfer of the paperwork and funds for a sale of a home. You would be shocked at how many different parties escrow has to interact with while making a sale happen.
