Although it sounds farfetched, this happens more times than many people realize. Since you don’t want to go through this, it’s important to prepare for your closing as far in advance as possible.

There are many key steps to take, including staying in close contact with your real estate agent, lender and closing company as the big day closes in.

By staying in constant communication with the right people, you may be able to see a delay coming, thus taking action as to avoid this situation.

There is a lot that goes into this, including but not limited to examining documents associated with a title search, verifying ownership, making sure there are no liens on the property and preparing the necessary documents.
