You may be thinking, aren’t they the same thing? They are not! Let’s take a look at the difference.
Closing Date
The closing date is when you will meet with your closing attorney to sign all documents and pay the down payment (if applicable) and closing costs.
It may feel overwhelming, but your closing attorney is there to guide you and answer any questions you have about the documents. Your HOMESTAR Mortgage Loan Originator is also there to support you!
Funding Date
The funding date is when HOMESTAR disburses funds to your escrow account or the title company, which finalizes the purchase of your home. The funding date can vary, and it may not be on the same day as your closing.
After all paperwork is signed and funds have been disbursed, you officially own the home!
