Being Proactive in Real Estate

The key to a successful Real Estate closing is to be proactive in the transaction.  Don't just execute the contract and wait for the closing to come.  You have to be attentive that not only everything that needs to be done on your side of the transaction is being completed but that the co-op agent is also completing their tasks.  By being proactive you are serving your client. Making sure that all the steps are being taken assures that you will have a successful closing. and having a successfuk closing is a duty you owe your client.  Have a checklist with a timeline of everything that needs to be done: surveys, inspections, appraisals, mortgage applications, etc..  Give a friendly reminder to the co-op agent if you haven't heard that the work has been completed. If they have done it, they won't mind sharing, if they haven't done it or forgot they will appreciate the reminder even though they possibly won't respond that they appreciate it.  Their reaction doesn't matter, the fact that the task is completed is most important for your client.  Folow these rules and you will end in a smooth, Real Estate closing.
