Processing the Sale
A Realtor has more responsibilities than listing and showing! You should be aware of what your Realtor does after the contract is signed:

• Open Title.
  
• Deliver Earnest Money Contract and check to the Title Company.
  
• Obtain receipt for earnest money check from the Title Company.
  
• Order all necessary inspections.
  
• Examine the Title Commitment for clouds and make sure problems are disclosed early so closing is not delayed.
  
• Insure that you receive copies of all documentation pertinent to the transaction.
  
• Note all contingencies and attempt to remove them within the time limit provided or get an extension of time, if needed.
  
• Keep you abreast of buyer's loan application and the progress of the appraisal on your home.
  
• Be present during inspections and keep you informed of their findings:
  

• Roof
  
• Pest Control
  
• Pool
  
• Building
  
• Plumbing & Heating
  

• Arrange any required termite treatment and obtain certificate.
  
• Coordinate execution of any required repairs.
  
• Verify survey has been ordered and completed.
  
• Provide Title Company with any charges for HUD1.
  
• Have closing papers drawn before closing so that if any problems arise, we can solve them.
  
• Coordinate the closing and move-in dates so that they are as convenient to both parties as possible.
