A Hybrid Refinance signing refers to a process where part of the signing occurs electronically, while other portions involve traditional methods, often requiring physical signatures on certain documents. This blended approach allows for the convenience of digital document handling and the traditional mortgage closing process.

In practice, this means that borrowers may receive some documents electronically, which they can review and even sign digitally, while still having to print, sign, and return specific documents that may legally require physical signatures. This format provides flexibility and efficiency, making it easier for parties involved in the refinance to manage their time and paperwork effectively.

By contrast, not all the other options capture the essence of a Hybrid Refinance signing. For instance, a signing that only involves printed documents does not utilize any electronic components, thereby missing the "hybrid" nature entirely. Similarly, a signing that requires physical presence does not necessarily incorporate the electronic element that makes a signing hybrid. Lastly, a signing that does not involve any documents contradicts the fundamental nature of refinance transactions, which inherently require documentation.
