Basically, you’ll sit at the closing table with your realtor, the seller and his/her realtor and a closing attorney. The attorney will have several documents for you and the seller to sign. While he/she will give you a basic explanation of each document, you may read each one and consult your attorney to make sure you understand exactly what you are signing.
