This is a reminder to pay close attention to the dates in your real estate offers. Using a calendar can help you keep track of the number of days and specific dates.
Discussing these dates with your buyer well in advance is a good idea. Everyone involved, including buyers, sellers, and agents, might have prior commitments or be unavailable on specific dates. Remember to consider any bank holidays that might affect the transaction.
When dealing with real estate contracts, it's important to be precise with your dates. Make sure that all parties, including the lender, can work within the specified time frames. It's also good to check with your chosen title attorney to ensure their schedule aligns with your closing date.
Avoid setting unrealistically short closing periods to get the offer accepted. Running out of time can cause unnecessary stress, so it's important to ensure that the lender can meet the deadline. Additionally, be clear on whether your contract refers to calendar or business days and when those dates officially start.
Be mindful of when the lender can approve the loan, and adjust the inspection date if you're looking to close quickly. How long will it take to get HOA and Condo documents.
Also, remember that the date of acceptance may change during the finalization and negotiation of the offer. Providing specific closing dates helps to avoid confusion and makes the process smoother.
Remember, dates do matter! So, be sure to save those dates and plan accordingly.
