closer
Seals the agreement
Closer describes something nearer in distance, time, or relationship—the comparative form of close.
As a noun, a closer is someone who finishes things: a relief pitcher who closes out games, a salesperson who seals deals, or the final act at a concert.
In real estate and law, a closer handles the final steps of transactions.
A closer can also be the concluding element itself: That song was the perfect closer for the album.
