I realize TV is not a scam but I can't help but wonder, has anyone every closed on a new home from afar and how did they do it and how did it go? What do I need to know or be wary of, alert for or any tips? Someone PLEASE, allay my fears.

We didn't buy new but rather preowned. We did everything from NY State. We worked with our TV agent and Citizens First and all processing was done by email, fax and express mail where necessary. Most was done electronically.

Any paperwork that didn't require original signatures were emailed to us to go through and sign or initial where required. We then fax'd the completed documents back. Both the agent and bank were very helpful and made things pretty easy for us. As for the wire transfer of funds, an instruction sheet was provided and the transfer went without a hitch!

Just as a side note, we were never even in TV until the day before we closed on our home.
