I think it is more important to have favorable logistics pre-arranged than to have legal representation at the closing. If you are the buyer and you have a moving truck ready to move you in the next day, you are not in a position to bargain during the closing. Or, if you are the seller, and you have emptied the house and are moving out of town the next day, you cannot afford for the closing to not occur. It is better to not have either of these situations. Also, as a buyer, I would never allow the seller to remain in the house, rent the house, or to leave items in the house after the closing. Just my opinion.
