At one time, even the smallest banks were constructed with enormous limestone bricks, paved with marble, and studded with chandeliers. Now, banks are a little box on any spare corner.
So, it shouldn't be a surprise that when you make the biggest purchase of your lifetime, you can do it from your car. Not a mahogany trimmed title office with a big conference table. Nothing like that now.
Curbside closings are now a thing, thanks to coronavirus. According to Housing Wire, here is how they work:
Park in a parking garage or lot near the title agent's office.
The agent meets you at the car, hauling a massive bag of documents.
You are masked. The agent is masked.
The agent pulls new pens out of the box, so you won't touch anything contaminated. The agent hands you papers. You sign. Takes 20 minutes. You head out to get a hamburger. You get copies by email.
