Even though it seems like a good idea,I advise against scheduling real estate closings on friday. In today's world, there are far too many things that can and do come up at the last second and push a closing to the next day.
Issues that come up dont have to be a big deal, but if its 3 on friday and you suddenly start seeing the chance of closing that day slipping away, the stress level goes through the roof. The truck is packed and you are just waiting to sign all the paperwork when you find out that something is missing and closing cant happen that day (this happens all the time). Not such a bad thing if you can regroup the next day to close, but if its friday, you're stuck for several days. Even if monday goes without a hitch, it puts a real nasty scar on the home buying or selling experience.
Avoid the chance of this kind of drama and ask for a wed or thursday closing. Its not quite as convenient but you'll reduce the stress and be able to smile when the attorney walks in and says there may be a delay.
