CE Elective: Deep Dive into ALTA Settlement Statements and Closing Disclosures [NVAR Fairfax]

Speaker: Charles Huang, KVS Title, LLC

All real estate transactions require parties to review and sign off on a settlement statement and/or closing disclosure. It is fundamental to every transaction and the source of problems if figures are misrepresented or missing. Agents have a deeper understanding of what happens in a transaction, so their ability to review and explain a settlement statement to their client pays off exponentially in avoiding errors before or after closing. Ultimately, understanding these basics and history will assist agents in providing a smoother experience for their clients when issues occur.
