Loan Signing

How long does a loan signing take?

Quick Answer

A typical loan signing takes 45-90 minutes. Refinances usually take 45-60 minutes, while purchase closings with more documents may take 60-90 minutes.

The duration of a loan signing depends on the type of transaction and the number of borrowers:

  • Refinance: 45-60 minutes (fewer documents than a purchase)
  • Purchase closing: 60-90 minutes (full loan package plus title documents)
  • Reverse mortgage: 60-90 minutes (extensive disclosure requirements)
  • HELOC or second mortgage: 30-45 minutes (smaller package)
  • Multiple borrowers: Add 15-30 minutes per additional signer

Tips to speed up your loan signing:

  • Review any documents sent in advance by your lender
  • Have your valid photo ID ready
  • Bring a second form of ID as backup
  • Ask your lender or title company any questions about terms before the signing
  • Ensure all borrowers are present and on time
