The Home Selling Process
Step 6: Closing the Sale
After you have come to terms with a buyer you will be working toward a successful closing. During this period the buyer will be busy conducting inspections, obtaining and finalizing on financing, and getting ready to move. Remember, you are responsible to deliver the property to the buyer in the same condition that it was when they made an offer. Keep in close contact with your agent to be sure that the buyer(s) meet deadlines in the REPC and are preparing for closing.
If a buyer discovers something unsatisfactory during an inspection be ready to work amicably to resolve the problem so that it does not affect closing. Also, make sure that the title on your home is clean and free from encroachments that may affect your ability to sell the property.
Most importantly, stick close and communicate with your agent and be sure that you understand the process and what is going on at all times.
