Everyone wants to have a smooth closing day without any hiccups, but a lot of what could go wrong is in your control. In this episode, we’re going to give you nine tips to ensure that you have a loan closing that goes as expected without any surprises.

The immediate reaction is to wonder if we’re going to have a repeat of 2008? Bill will walk us through what went wrong here, why it’s not the same as the banking collapse of 15 years ago, and how this impacts the mortgage industry.
