My work doesn’t end with a ratified contract.  There are still many things to be watched and managed between ratification and closing.  I will keep and eye on all aspects until you sign the deed and hand over the keys.  I will:

  • Negotiate items from home inspections
  • Work with you to find the appropriate contractors to complete any necessary repairs.
  • Maintain contact with the lender to make sure the loan is proceeding.
  • Meet with appraisers
  • Make sure all necessary paperwork gets to the settlement company.
  • Guide you through the contract deadlines and essential paperwork
  • Work with you to help you with utility change over 
  • Coordinate the final walk through.
  • Coordinate closing date and time.
  • Keep in contact regularly to minimize stress.

THE FINAL STEPS

The settlement day arrives.  The last minute details are:

  • Handling any items from the final walk through
  • Reviewing the HUD-1
  • Attending the settlement with you
  • Follow up after settlement on any lingering items such as water escrow etc.

Working together as a team we will make this as positive and stress free as possible.
