WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOUR HOME GOES UNDER AGREEMENT

Posted by pixelpaper

(Keep your copy of the signed agreement in a safe place in order that you may refer to it with questions)

  1. Prepare to accommodate inspectors and appraisers within the next few weeks. Buyers may accompany the inspectors and appraiser. Our agents are not present for the inspections or appraisal.
  2. If the property is located in a PUD, order the resale certificate. This must be paid for at the time it is ordered. Costs vary according to each PUD
  3. The homebuyers will present a response to the home inspection.
  4. Complete your reply WITHIN the time indicated in the contract.
  5. Do not make any changes to the structure. The Buyer will do another inspection close to the day of closing. He should not be surprised with any changes at that time.
  6. You should receive notification of mortgage commitment from the Buyer.
  7. Hire an Attorney to prepare a new deed. The cost varies according to the Attorney. This can be paid at settlement
  8. Notify utility companies to have the utilities transferred out of your name as of the date of settlement. Do not have the utilities turned of because there are fees involved.
  9. Obtain a moving permit if needed.
  10. Empty and clean the house. The Agreement of Sale states that the property will be given to the Buyer in broom clean condition. The Buyers will do a walk through inspection as noted in #5 above to make sure the property is in the same condition as it was when they signed the Agreement.
  11. Cancel your house insurance as of the date of closing.
  12. Bring keys and photo ID to closing
