What is the difference between Settlement, Closing and Possession?

When you go to "Settlement" you will sign documents such as your loan documents. Recording won't take place until after the Seller is paid. Possession can take place at any time as specified in the contract.

See Section 3 of the Contract: "Settlement and Closing"
Settlement occurs after ALL of the following take place:
a) All Documents are signed by all parties
b) All the Buyer's funds needed to close are at the Title company as "cleared funds"
c) All the Seller's funds needed to close are at the Title company as "cleared funds"

Closing occurs after ALL of the following take place:
a) The Loan funds are delivered to the Seller or Escrow Company
b) The Loan Documents are Recorded at the County Recorder's Office

As you see immediately in Section 4, Possession is (can be) completely separate from Settlement or Closing.

4. POSSESSION. Seller shall deliver physical possession to Buyer within: hours days after closing;  Other (specify)
