Homebuyer Spotlight - One Person, Two Signatures, How To Close On A Home When Someone Can't Be There

DDA Mortgage • November 8, 2022

Congratulations Sharon and David on your new home in Florida, where is Sharon? We used a specific power of attorney where David could sign for everyone.

When you're buying a new home, there are a lot of steps to go through. Closing on the mortgage is just one of them. But it's an important one! You want to make sure you have everything in place so that after closing, you can move into your new home and start enjoying it.

But, life happens. Sometimes you can't be there to sign all the documents on closing day. While this is not ideal, we do have ways to make sure your closing goes smoothly.


Sometimes, we suggest a mobile closing, where our closing where the notary or closing company will come to you. We can also set up limited power of attorney. In this case, David was able to sign all the documents for Sharon, and they were able to close on their loan!
