Gap checks are ordered prior to the closing of a real estate transaction, after the preliminary abstracting and title work have been completed. A closing agent should satisfy himself or herself that no liens or judgments have been filed against either of the parties to the sale or refinance after the prelimary abstract has been completed and prior to funding.

Verbal or Written Gap checks will be provided to Lenders or Mortgage brokers after abstracting has been completed and prior to the closing of a real estate transaction.
