When we started our company 15 years ago we created a "Time Track" to put in writing the anticipated dates from application to closing. In that plan is having the closing documents done 4 days prior to closing and a closing review with our clients two days prior to closing. Our clients, Realtors, and Title Companies love this. All of our closings go very smoothly with no surprises. If we do find a surprise, it is found two days prior to closing. It can be done! Just insist on it from your lenders. If they won't, find one that will. It won't happen until you insist. The key to this problem is to stop tolerating poor service from your providers.
