Once you have negotiated a contract and agreed on a sale price, the next phase of the home sale job begins.
Below is a list of some of the details your agent will manage through this process.
They will constantly check with the title company to assess when they need additional information and whether there will be any problems that could affect obtaining title.
They will ensure that both you and your Buyer receive copies of all documents pertaining to the transaction. They will have the Buyer sign to acknowledge that he/she has received his/her copies.
They will make sure that the Buyer meets and removes all contingencies within the time limit provided or get an extension, if needed, signed by both you and the Buyer.
They will keep you abreast of the Buyer's application for a loan and the progress of the appraisal on your home.
They will work with the appraiser to arrange for entry to the property and to answer any questions he/she may have about the home or neighborhood. I wil also provide the appraiser with the most recent comparable sales in the area.
They will make sure that the Buyer increases their deposit in a timely manner.
They will coordinate and attend as many inspections as possible and keep you informed of all findings.
Once the inspections are complete, they will negotiate for you if any problems arise.
They will cooperate with the Buyer and others involved ensuring that corrective work is completed according to the terms of the contract.
They will ensure that all documents are ordered and drawn, including your loan pay-off and insurance for the Buyer.
They will do their best to have your closing papers drawn one week before Close of Escrow (COE) so that if any problems arise, they can solve them while remaining within the time frame you expect.
If you prefer, they may be able to deliver your escrow check to you personally as well as coordinate move-in dates and key exchanges.
