Download or read book Real Estate Closing Settlement Agent written by S. K. Kenney and published by Eiram Publishing. This book was released on 2011-03 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Title closing is the time when a real estate transfer or purchase transaction is completed. Specific terminology may vary by region and other common terms used to describe this transaction include closing escrow or holding a settlement meeting. Regardless of terminology, the results of the closing are the same, a completed real estate transfer where all contractual items are fulfilled and both parties' obligations are legally settled. These transfers often require the services of a trained real estate settlement agent. The purpose behind having a trained settlement agent oversee the closing process is to provide an impartial third party who will finalize all of the transaction details. This ensures that the transaction is closed in a fair manner and that all parties fulfill their contractual obligations. The title used to describe a settlement agent may also vary by region. Closing agent or escrow agent are commonly heard titles used in relationship to this position. The career of a Real Estate Settlement Agent can be both rewarding and lucrative. This coursework is designed to assist you in gaining the knowledge, tools, and skills that you need to begin on the path to career success as a Real Estate Closing Settlement Agent.
