This is a great list Christin.  It's helpful to have everything needed in one place and the sellers can start working on this even before the bank gets around to asking for it.

Thanks for the reference information.  As with anything, it is a lot of work, but worth it in the end if you can come out with a winner on all sides.  Have a great week.

More great tips!  I take it you have a lot of practice at this?  I have a few of these under my belt, and they have been interesting to say the least.

Nicely done list!  One difference to mine is that my first page contains a listing of all the enclosures of the package with reference to the page count for each section and a total number of pages.  This is handy for the receiving side as they know to receive xx number of pages if it is sent by fax (which is common).

Great list. It may also be handy to check with the lender for additional items, which based on your level of professionalism, I'm confident you already do. Thanks for sharing with AR.
