Frequently Asked Questions

Why isn't the total just the sum of all periods?

Many steps like appraisal, underwriting, and title work happen in parallel, so the estimate accounts for overlapping timelines.

How accurate is this estimate?

This gives a reasonable planning estimate; actual closing dates depend on lender speed, market conditions, and any issues found during inspection.

Can cash purchases close faster?

Yes, cash deals skip loan underwriting and can often close in as little as 1-2 weeks.
