The escrow officer reviews all the closing papers with the buyer/seller and gets signatures on all the appropriate documents. For a buyer, if there is a loan, there are many loan documents to review and sign as well.

It varies from state to state. Here we do not sit around a table and sign paperwork, handle checks, etc - it's all done behind the scenes. Once escrow has all buyer funds (downpayment, closing costs, lender funds) and all documents the deed is sent to the records office and authorized to be recorded
