Real estate has long been one of the most effective ways to build long-term wealth and generate passive income. But the traditional closing process? Not so much. It often involves in-person meetings, stacks of paperwork, and the hassle of coordinating everyone’s schedule—especially difficult if the buyer or seller lives out of town.
Thankfully, remote closings are transforming how people invest in Phoenix, offering a faster, simpler, and more accessible experience. Whether you’re local or across the country, remote closings make it possible to buy or sell property without ever stepping foot in the city.
In this post, we’ll break down how remote closings work, their benefits for investors, and how Valley Home Buyer can help streamline the process for you.
What Are Remote Closings?
Remote closings (also called virtual closings) allow real estate transactions to be completed entirely online. Instead of meeting in person, all necessary documents are signed electronically. This digital approach gained popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic and has continued to grow thanks to its convenience and efficiency.
Benefits of Remote Closings for Investors
Remote closings offer several major advantages:
1. Convenience
Investors can complete the entire transaction from home, the office, or anywhere with internet access. Signing documents is quick and can be done on your schedule.
2. Time Savings
Without the need for in-person meetings or mailing paperwork, closings can happen much faster—helping you move on to your next investment sooner.
3. Lower Costs
Remote closings often reduce or eliminate travel costs, notary fees, and time away from work, making the process more affordable.

The Remote Closing Process in Phoenix
Here’s a step-by-step look at how remote closings typically work:
Step 1: Document Preparation
This includes the purchase agreement, promissory note, deed of trust or mortgage, and any state- or lender-required paperwork.
Step 2: Electronic Signatures
Documents are signed using a secure online platform. E-signatures are legally valid and make the process fast and convenient.
Step 3: Online Notarization
A remote notary verifies your identity and witnesses your signature via video. This is a legal and secure step required in most states.
Step 4: Recording
The signed and notarized documents are submitted electronically to the appropriate county recorder’s office.
Step 5: Funding
The final step is transferring funds to complete the purchase. Wire transfers or ACH payments are standard and usually processed quickly.
