Presentation Examples

Set the Closing Table

Set the Closing Table is an interactive activity used to familiarize participants with various elements and documentation used within the closing industry. With the introduction of a plethora of new vocabulary and similarities between multiple documents, it can be daunting for new hires to grasp this information. This activity includes an in-depth discussion and definition of key terms, as well as the usage of different acronyms. Utilizing new terms in a practical application helps students to conceptualize and retain the information in pertinence to the steps needed for a successful closing.   

The purpose of this activity is to highlight the non-linear nature of the closing process. Each organization has different procedures, but the end result is ultimately the same. One of the core teachings at Real Estate Closing Path is that no individual has to know everything, but it’s incredibly helpful to know where to find the information. This activity highlights this principle in that a familiarity with the documents and where they come from will assist in being able to successfully move the file through the closing process.
