BTwo different title companies handle buyer's and seller's documents respectively
CThe commission is split between two brokerages
DThe closing is conducted in two phases

Why The buyer and seller sign documents at different times or locations Is Correct

Answer A: The buyer and seller sign documents at different times or locations

A split closing (or remote closing) occurs when buyer and seller sign documents separately—often at different locations or at different times—rather than at a traditional simultaneous in-person closing. This is increasingly common with e-signing technology.

Exam Tip: Escrow & Title

Escrow questions test the neutral third-party role and the sequence of closing events. Remember that the escrow agent acts as a dual agent for both buyer and seller and cannot advocate for either side.
