Ask EVERYONE About A Closing Date....

By
Real Estate Agent with EXP Realty 414-525-0563 57026-90 Broker

 One of the things that has happened to our real estate practice is that we have more Buyers than we have had in a long time.

  accepted offer signThis is because our listings sell quite quickly, there is less inventory, and Buyers who have missed the opportunity to buy our listing, are still looking to find the house that they will call home.

    We of course make sure that the Buyer has been to a reliable lender and has a letter of pre-approval. We discuss their presLeaseent housing situation...do they have a lease, what are the terms....if the lease is broken, what are the penalties, etc.  We want 

to be sure that the pre-approval is current and the Buyer(s) know 

 

the interest rate, taxes on the property they are considering and any other costs like the Homeowners Association dues that may be asociated with the property.

     We check with the Buyer's lender ...when is closing possible...we discuss with the Buyer what is best...AND we call the listing agent...when can your Sellers Close ?   'Decision by committee ?  Sort of....but it is also the shortest distance between two points when we all have the same date in mind.

   sold sign    Be considerate...be pro-active...know what will work...and best wishes for a smooth transaction for everyone.

      If you or anyone you know want Realtors who are pro active and detail oriented in southeastern Wisconsin...Call the Hansons...we are honored to be of service.

This reminds me of a closing I had last month where the lender and the buyer knew it was closing but the seller, seller's agent and I didn't. The lender's excuse was she texted (never got it) that closing was moved forward and thought we would all be happy. Communication means you make sure that all people are reached and notified.

Right now, I have my hands full with first time buyers whose budgets are a bit more limited with so little inventory out there for them... I'd love to be able to schedule that closing date, but first I need to find them that darn home!

Closing dates can be a balancing act these days, especially when stuff happens at the 99th hour. Fortunately, most happen on time, but wish I could say all do.

Make it a great week!

The closing date is very important. I would rather not have one that is close to the end of the month Sally & David, very busy at the title company.
