Once a buyer has been
found for your home, the part
o f the transaction that takes
the most care and attention is
the closing. As a Realtor, my
responsibility does not end
when the buyer says: “Yes, I
want it!” As your Realtor, a
number of important details
must be coordinated, con
firmed and finalized before the
sale of your home can be suc
cessfully completed.
As an example, there is the
purchase contract that must be
signed by all parties, disclo
sure documents that need to be
Past Real Estate columns and

prepared and signed, the loan
for the buyer of your home
needs to be overseen, all of the
contingencies have to be ad
dressed and removed and any
title matters that crop up dur
ing the closing need to be
cleared.
Any and all of these details
are essential elements in the
successful sale of your home.
The experience that our office
has in dealing with these mat
ters can make a big difference
in bringing the sale to a happy
and timely closing.
