WHEN AN OFFER IS RECEIVED
                      SIX STEPS TO A SMOOTH CLOSING



1. Presenting the offer
    ♦   I will contact you immediately to arrange a meeting to review the offer.
    ♦   It is usually best to meet as soon as possible.
    ♦   I may not be aware of the terms of the offer when I call.
    ♦   I will have all the details when I present the offer.


2. Options to consider
    ♦   Accept the offer exactly as it is made, and your house is sold.
    ♦   Make a counter proposal so that the offer is acceptable to you.
    ♦   Reject the offer and wait for another offer.



3. Delivery of the contract
♦   A copy of the finalized contract will be delivered to you and the buyer.
♦   All pertinent legal documents can be delivered to your attorney, if you desire.


4. Mortgage processing
♦ If financing will be provided by a lender, it is the buyer’s responsibility to make an application for
  the mortgage loan.
♦ The buyer will have a set number of days to procure the loan, as stated in the contract.
♦ The lending institution will verify the buyer’s credit, work records and determine his/her ability to
  meet the financial obligations of a mortgage.
♦ The lending institution orders an appraisal to determine the home’s value for mortgage purposes.
♦ When all of the information is received, the mortgage company will approve/disapprove the loan.


5. Preparing for closing:
♦ When the loan is approved, more legal work will be necessary.
   title insurance will be ordered
   a survey of the property will be required.
♦ When all the paperwork is in order, the time & place of closing will be agreed upon by all parties.
♦ Prior to the time of closing, the buyer will request a physical inspection of the house.
♦ The buyers may or may not be accompanied by a property inspector, whom they have engaged
  at their expense.



6. The closing (or settlement)
♦ All documents finalizing the sale will be signed by all parties and all funds will be disbursed.
♦   Most closings take about an hour to complete.
♦   Keys will be delivered to the buyer at the closing, or whenever possession of the property has
    been agreed upon according to the contract.
