Why do you need me? The Contract to Close Position

Taking the steps to buy or sell a home is a very scary thing. The stress associated with such a big move is considered to be one of the more substantial aggressors in life. 

Each agent hopes to give any and all of our clients the most successful and smoothest experience they’ve ever dealt with in the Real Estate world.  To help achieve that goal, any Agent or an Agent’s Contract to Close Coordinator will take a few of the following tasks up to get a contract to the closing table.  In short, I make sure everything comes together so everyone can meet at the closing table.  I am the detail-oriented processor that ties everything up into a nice package with a bow. Here is a little of what I do to help you sell or buy a home:

-       Obtain and Review Contract for deadlines, missing signatures, contingencies, special stipulations, etc.

-       Review all documents to make sure they are in compliance with the main office requirements.

-       Rectify missing items, organize, make sure all parties (lender, loan processor, attorney, selling agent, listing agent, clients, etc.) are on the same page. 

-       Enter contract into  a system to show we have a legal contract with the main office staff).
