How long before closing do I get the closing disclosure?
Answered by Onias Derilus, Mortgage Capital · NMLS# 1859012 · Florida licensed mortgage broker
At least three business days before closing, by federal rule. This waiting period gives you time to review the final terms and costs and ask questions before you sign.
Major changes to certain terms can reset the three-day clock. We get your Closing Disclosure out on time and walk you through it well before signing.
The three-day requirement
By federal law, you must receive your closing disclosure at least three business days before closing. This waiting period lets you review the final terms without pressure.
The clock counts business days, so weekends and holidays do not shorten it. If the lender changes major terms late, the three days can reset.
Use the window wisely
Read the disclosure carefully against your loan estimate. Check the rate, the monthly payment, and the cash to close. Flag any number that looks off before you sign.
We review it with you as soon as it arrives so any issue gets fixed in time. Apply now and we will make sure your closing stays on schedule.
