I don't know about you...but when I have 10 deals going at the same time the Check List... keeps me on track and moving forward. My internal computer is not what it used to be ...so a friendly reminder on paper and in my sellers/buyers file...keeps me organized and heading toward a successful close. I even share my check list with the sellers/buyers and invite them to help me with the process. This way... if I haven't checked the check list...I am not the only one paying attention.
CHECK LIST FOR SELLING YOUR PROPERTY
________New Deed preparation
________Title V Certificate of Compliance
________Smoke Detector Inspection (schedule at your local Fire Department)
This certificate of compliance is required at the closing.
________ Schedule final water reading/final water bill amount
Schedule gas, electricity final readings.
If you heat with oil, have your oil tank topped off
________Picture Identification (e.g. Driver's License) Bring with you to closing.
________Social Security Number (tax I D number)
________Certificate of Occupancy and Certificate of Compliance (for new construction)
Must have 2 weeks before closing.
________Copy of Tax Bill and paid receipt for most recent tax period
________Name of Bank where mortgage is being held and phone number, account #
and name on account and give to the lawyer
_______ "Certificate of no assessment" from the Association in which your property is
located. This states that you have paid your Association dues in full prior to
transferring the property.
Every area is different. But maybe a check list is all you need to move you to a successful close.
