WNY Closing: When does the buyer typically receive the keys?

WNY Closing: When does the buyer typically receive the keys?

Simple question about closing day in the Buffalo area:

For those who have recently bought or sold property here, is it the standard custom to receive the keys at the closing table after all documents are signed and funds are wired, or is there usually a delay until the deed is recorded the next business day?

Trying to figure out the exact moment of possession. Thanks for the guidance on the local process!

    Possession is usually at close, so right at the closing table is the norm.
