Closing Moves Past the Payoff Quote Date

If mortgage closing moves beyond a payoff quote's validity date, check when to request a new quote and reconcile the updated cash to close.

A changed settlement date can make a previously supplied payoff amount stale.

Worked example

A quote valid through June 10 was used for a June 9 closing. When closing moves to June 14, request an updated quote even if a per-day amount appears on the first one.

What to check

Check the validity date, settlement date, receipt instructions and any payments posted since the quote.

Next step

Ask the settlement agent which refreshed payoff will appear on the final disbursement schedule. Use FinToku’s Loan Statement and Payoff Review to organize or compare the figures.
