Do you use a buyer checklist?

I am in the midst of revamping my checklists so I can routinely use a Virtual Assistant if needed. Dropbox plus Evernote plus Google Docs have all been considered to facilitate this. Picasa for photo editing also made the cut! Will be fun o come back to compare.

Recently I revamped my buyer checklist to make sure I don't wake up in a cold sweat the day before closing wondering if I missed anything. Does anyone else have any thoughts on this?

This looks like a great Checklist...I guess it is all in the teritory. In the area I work, there are a lot more things I would add, like inspections (septic, termite/pest, radon), and we handle closing a little different. I think it is great for agents to compare notes.

Hi Cheryl, I commented on Steve's Post and said that our office has a full page of requirments that the broker has to sign off on. It is quite complex and very detailed. Maybe I will write  post about it. I can't post the pdf in the comments here unless I change the format to jpeg. I could just as easily write a post and it details out the porcess very complete. Getting it accomplished is a whole other matter, lol.

Hi Cheryl!  Yes, we do have a check-list that is similar but, longer too!  It's always good to have ready to check-off as you add the documents to the file folder.  This is not something that I could do 'flying by the seat of my pants' for sure!
