a lot of it is state law specific. in m.o there were papers that had to be signed by both parties within 24 hours... but this was also back in 2012 or so, could be different now that so much has become on-line doable now.....we always had a house here that we kept while we lived there so didn't have to go through any real estate stuff coming back. which was easy. I was almost at the point of just doing a cash sale to anyone who would offer a decent amount to just have to keep from going back and forth every other week.....lolI can't take the usual antihistamines to battle the allergies, so I look like a puffer fish.
And yeah! I never knew you could do all this stuff virtually! Works for me. I had to kind of coach hubs who's never really been trustful of computers to begin with, but we got through it fine. My daughter-in-law was on zoom with us as she knows real estate stuff.
