Always expect the unexpected. I have closed on 3 houses (buying and selling) and each one was very stressful. Buyers and sellers always break oral agreements made under the table and someone will always forget something important. At one closing the mother in law of the buyer had a problem with her daughter's laywer and yelled out in a Scottish accent "Lawyers are nothing but liars and thieves,liars and thieves!" At the last house I sold due to divorce, I had to drive an hr and back to pay a bill and was the last one to arrive as my exwife was chatting up the realator who I was dating. The guy who was buying the house had to sign about 200 papers stating that he wasn't one of the Juan whatevers that was in prison or other. So don't bother being too prepared because it won't help much,hahaha. Good luck!

I found it easier as a seller than as a buyer. When I've bought, I had to sign tons of stuff and it took way too long. When I've sold, my agent goes and signs everything for me so I don't even have to show up.
We did have to sign some extra papers 2 weeks later last time we bought because they had us sign the wrong one and it took them that long to figure it out.

you sign about 320 pieces of paper. And depending on your position you either get a check or you write one.

Lots and lots of signing.
Be sure to check everything over, at ours they had completely misspelled my wife's name on all of the documents and we had to have everything amended before we could sign them.
