The Growing Demand for Remote Closings and eSignatures

Jul 20, 2025

Remote Closing

Real estate transactions have traditionally required in-person meetings and stacks of paperwork. But in today’s fast-paced, digital world, buyers, sellers, and lenders are seeking more flexibility and convenience. Remote closings and eSignatures have become the modern solution—allowing clients to sign, verify, and complete real estate transactions securely from anywhere.

At Clarion Title Company, we’ve embraced this evolution because it aligns with what clients value most: efficiency, security, and accessibility. With the right technology and a trusted title partner, closing on a home has never been easier.


What Is a Remote Closing?

A remote closing—sometimes called a digital closing or eClosing—allows the entire settlement process to happen virtually. Using secure technology, parties can review and sign documents online, often through remote online notarization (RON) platforms.

The process follows the same legal steps as a traditional closing but without the need for everyone to meet in person. Clarion Title Company ensures that every remote closing complies with state laws and uses encrypted, approved systems to maintain confidentiality and security.


How eSignatures Work

An eSignature is an electronic version of a handwritten signature that legally binds documents. Each signature is encrypted, timestamped, and verified to prevent tampering or fraud.

Clarion Title Company uses secure, industry-standard eSignature tools to ensure accuracy and compliance. These platforms allow buyers, sellers, lenders, and agents to sign documents at their convenience while maintaining a full digital record of every step in the process.


The Benefits of Remote Closings

1. Convenience and Flexibility
Remote closings give buyers and sellers the freedom to complete their transactions from anywhere—whether they’re traveling, working, or relocating from another state.

2. Faster Turnaround Times
By eliminating the need for physical meetings and overnight mail, remote closings often shorten the timeline between contract and completion.

3. Enhanced Accuracy
Digital platforms ensure that all required fields are completed and signatures are properly placed, reducing the risk of missed pages or errors.

4. Improved Security
Clarion Title Company uses encrypted systems and identity verification tools to protect sensitive financial and personal information.

5. Accessibility for All Parties
Remote closings make it easier for every participant—agents, lenders, buyers, and sellers—to stay connected and finalize transactions quickly, regardless of location.


When a Remote Closing Makes Sense

Remote closings are ideal for busy professionals, out-of-state buyers or sellers, and anyone seeking a more convenient, paperless experience. They’re also valuable when circumstances prevent in-person meetings.

Not every transaction qualifies for a fully remote closing, however. Clarion Title Company evaluates each situation carefully to determine what level of digital signing is permitted by law and ensures all parties understand the process beforehand.

Technology has reshaped nearly every industry, and real estate is no exception. Remote closings and eSignatures are quickly becoming standard practice—not just a temporary solution.
