I wouldn't worry about it at all. We closed by mail. We didn't plan it that way but that's how it worked out. I had a major medical problem a few days before closing, so we couldn't be here, although we lived less than 250 miles away.
Not only that, we had wired the money prematurely, because during the financial dark days of 2008 the news reported that the bank we had used to collect the funds for closing was in imminent danger of insolvency. So I rushed there and ordered the wire transfer in advance, figuring the funds were safer in the escrow account than in the bank.
Although The Villages was curious as to why they got the money early, there were no problems in the least with closing by mail. The Villages' closing office is a well-oiled machine.
