A New York style closing is a real estate transaction process in which all necessary documents and funds are exchanged in person at a closing meeting, usually held at the office of a title company or attorney. This method ensures that all parties can immediately address any last-minute issues, allowing for the simultaneous transfer of property ownership and disbursement of funds.

New York Style Closing is a method of finalizing a real estate transaction commonly used in New York and some other states. It involves signing all necessary documents and completing the financing and title transfer on the same day, known as the “closing date.” Unlike some other forms of closing, the New York Style does not require parties to meet in one location.
You should consider using a New York Style Closing when conducting real estate transactions in New York or regions where this method is standard. It is especially applicable when the transaction entails complex legal requirements necessitating same-day completion or if local customs dictate this style. Additionally, if financing timelines are tight, this style may be efficient in aligning the lender and buyer schedules.
To document a New York Style Closing, your contract should clearly outline the terms of the closing process, specifying that all actions, including the signing of documents, disbursement of funds, and title transfer, will occur simultaneously on the designated closing date. It is important to note coordination with financial institutions and legal representatives to ensure compliance with all necessary formalities.
Example:
The parties agree that this transaction will be completed through a New York Style Closing, occurring on the agreed-upon closing date, at which time all funds will be transferred, and title documentation acknowledged, executed, and filed as required by law.
Contracts typically containing New York Style Closing provisions include residential and commercial real estate purchase agreements, real estate financing contracts, and sometimes lease agreements where property transfer is involved. It is a common practice in contracts governed by New York law or in regions favoring this transactional approach to finalizing real estate deals.
