eClosing Services for Real Estate Transactions
Real estate closings do not have to be taxing, slow, or tied to a conference room table. Today, buyers, sellers, and agents are turning to eClosing solutions to finalize transactions faster and with far more flexibility.
Electronic Documents, Digital Signing
An eClosing, or electronic closing, is a real estate closing that uses electronic documents and digital signing instead of traditional physical paperwork and wet signatures. Whether in a hybrid setting or fully online, forms can be accessed by phone, computer, or tablet.
Depending on the type of eClosing, documents may be reviewed, signed, and notarized electronically rather than in person. All you need is a stable internet connection, a webcam, a microphone, a government-issued ID, and a certified notary.
Instead of printing, scanning, and overnighting mortgage documents, parties complete the signing process securely online. For agents and homebuyers, this means fewer moving parts and a clearer path to closing day.
Hybrid, Remote, or In-Person Electronic
Hybrid eClosing
A hybrid eClosing combines electronic document signing with an in-person notarization. Most documents are reviewed and signed digitally ahead of time; notarized documents are completed during a brief in-person signing. Necessary where wet signatures are required for certain documents or lenders can't support a fully digital closing.
Remote Online eClosing
The entire signing process, including notarization, takes place online using secure audio-video technology. The signer's identity is verified digitally, and the notarization is recorded and stored in compliance with applicable laws. Ideal for buyers or sellers who are traveling, relocating, or otherwise unable to attend in person.
In-Person Electronic Closing
Documents are signed electronically, but the notarization still occurs face-to-face. This approach eliminates paper forms while keeping the closing appointment personal, and ensures everything is done legally where states don't allow remote notarization for specific transactions.

Before You Book
A physical, wet-ink signature is required when state law, lender policy, or county recording rules do not permit electronic or remote notarization for a specific document. This most often applies to deeds or mortgages in jurisdictions that have not fully adopted remote online notarization, transactions that require original notes rather than eNotes, or documents that must be signed in the presence of physical witnesses under state law.

An eClosing often takes less time than a traditional closing because documents are prepared and reviewed digitally in advance. Many signing sessions can be completed in 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the number of documents and whether the closing is fully remote, hybrid, or in person.
