This week we examine who has to attend the closing and what do you do if the buyer or seller cannot attend the closing.  One of the good things that came out of Covid was Zoom and the new flexibility this platform provides for closings. If you find yourself in a situation where your buyer or seller cannot attend the closing there are now  so many options for the parties. So check out this week's podcast on all of the options now available.

Also, in As Gary Sees It  I give you half of my Top 10 streaming series that are not Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad or Tiger King!
