One more vote for Citizens. We closed from Georgia by FedEx and wired the funds to an account we opened at Citizens the day we signed the contract. On the appointed morning we got a phone call from The Villages Closing Department saying "Congratulations, your home is closed". Could not have been smoother.

This was in the summer of 2013 and The Villages needed to extend the 30 day closing time by a couple of weeks because they could not keep up with sales.

Having just sold a house to complete my mother's estate in New Jersey that had THREE contracts fall through before closing before the forth one closed I know about closing hassles big time.
