Mail Away Closing not enough time?

[Abrahim Alderwish]

Hello All, Im doing my first mail away wholesale deal and the title company set the date of the closing on Monday. This closing is going to be mail away due to the seller being out of town. My issue is that the title company sent over the closing documents for me to forward to the seller today (Friday the 10th) and the closing date is set for Monday the 13th. The documents need to be notarized on the sellers end and mailed back overnight to the title company. If the seller gets it notarized and signed on Monday which is the day of the closing wont the title company not get it back until Tuesday the following day? Is that how mail away closings normally work? Or are the documents supposed to be signed and sent in the day before (sunday). If anyone knows or is familiar with mail away closing please reach out.

Thank you!

Abrahim, 

1. Make sure the Seller gets everything notarized as early as possible Monday

2. Have the Seller scan & email all of the documents to you and the title company

3. Have the Seller overnight the documents to the title company for Tuesday delivery

The title company should be able to close with an image of the signed & attested documents (notarized), since most closings are done via the registry's online system.  The only exception to this is recorded land, recorded land is typically not available for online recording BUT I would not worry about this.  Follow steps 1 through 3 & you should be able to get the deal done.
