Avoid Fall-Out With An
After-Sale Checklist
Be alert for developments that might ruin a transaction. Address problems
quickly and professionally. Stay organized with this checklist:
[ ] All copies of accepted offer ( and counter-offers) signed by all parties.
Copies of each delivered to all parties.
[ ] Buyer's loan application delivered to the lender.
[ ] All contingencies, if any, cleared.
[ ] Legal description of property sent to lender and to the person processing
the paperwork.
[ ] Inspections ordered promptly? (Termite, roof, mechanical)
[ ] All repairs required by the agreement ordered? Completed? Who is responsible
for each item? Are the sellers making timely arrangements to move out?
[ ] Loan approval.
[ ] New fire insurance obtained by buyer.
[ ] Preliminary report of title, if required. Ordered? Received? Any problems?
[ ] Have escrow instructions (or similar document in your state) been signed
and returned?
[ ] Have buyers deposited down-payment into escrow or other account?
Add items to this list. Being organized will help you solve problems, not
create them.
