Take a buyer from contract to closing

Guide a buyer from signed purchase contract to keys at closing.

1. Deliver the earnest money by the deadline
2. Book the home inspection inside the contingency period
3. Negotiate repairs or credits with the seller (Seller signs off)
4. Track the appraisal and loan approval
5. Order title and check for liens
6. Confirm the buyer got the Closing Disclosure 3 business days before closing. Most people forget this: Under TRID the buyer must receive the Closing Disclosure at least 3 business days before closing, or closing moves.
7. Have the buyer confirm wiring instructions by phone. Most people forget this: Wire fraud emails with fake bank details are common at closing; money sent to a fraudster is rarely recovered.
8. Do the final walk-through
9. Attend closing and hand over keys
