Know what to expect at closing.
Practical guidance for a smoother, safer transaction.
Before closing
Watch for messages from your assigned Kumo Title contact. Confirm identification requirements, signing details, and any outstanding documents well before the appointment.
Wire safety
Wire fraud is a serious risk. Never rely on changed wiring instructions received only by email. Independently verify instructions using a trusted phone number before sending funds.
Bring identification
Bring a current, government-issued photo ID and any additional identification your closing contact requests.
Ask questions early
If a name, entity, marital status, document, or timing detail may require special handling, tell your closing contact as early as possible.
Frequently asked questions
What is title insurance?
Title insurance is designed to protect against certain covered title defects and claims. Your Kumo Title contact can explain the title commitment and available policy information for your transaction.
Who chooses the title company?
The answer can depend on the contract and transaction. Ask your real estate professional or legal adviser if you are uncertain about your rights or obligations.
How long does closing take?
Timing varies with the transaction, financing, title requirements, and the parties’ readiness. We establish a closing plan and communicate changes as they arise.
