What does a notary actually do on closing day? Here is the final step before the house is really yours.
They draft the transfer deed, moving ownership from seller to buyer.
They draft the mortgage deed, registering your lender's claim.
They check the land registry to confirm there are no outstanding debts or claims.
They handle the money through an escrow account, not directly between buyer and seller.
Both parties sign, the transfer is registered, and the keys change hands.
We coordinate with your notary from day one, so this step is just a formality.
