Do the Buyer and Seller Have to Attend the Closing?
Here's a question that comes up pretty often in my market as well.  I would say that fully 50% of my buyers and sellers don't personally attend their closings.  It can all be done by mail, email and wire transfers.  Though, at some time, I (or a representative) do physically hand over the keys.
 
Is it a must that the buyer and seller physically attend a real estate closing?

Most of the title and real estate closing companies in Clarksville, TN can complete a closing without the physical presence of either party. We deal with relocation buyers and sellers that have already left the area. One thing they don't want to do is to incur the extra expense to travel back to Clarksville just to close on the house. They will do it if they have to but it is no longer necessary and closing documents can be signed and notarized almost anywhere and in all parts of the world.
Clarksville is a military town and we recognize that buyers and sellers may be deploying and or not yet ready to live their duty station. We want to find anyway possible that we can help ease the burden of the closing and make it easier.
