How long to get closing date after mortgage approval?

So I am impatient and want everything to just be done with this house purchase. We received our mortgage commitment letter from the bank yesterday, my DH and I signed it and provided all necessary outstanding documentation listed. I handed it everything to the bank this morning since it's on my way to work.

So now I am just waiting for a closing date. I think the bank's attorney contacts our attorney to schedule it. Do you know how long this typically takes? 

Re: How long to get closing date after mortgage approval?

  • We had a closing date set in our contract with the sellers. We just had a 30 day time period to obtain financing and then a 2 week closing period. The bank had a copy of our contract so that they know our time frame. Not sure how it works if you didn't set one ahead of time. The sellers and the bank would have to agree to it.

  • Our estimated closing date in the contract was April 1 with a 30 day swing in either direction. The homeowners were still in the house and moving out so we agreed to be flexible.
