Appraisal - get as much information as possible about local sales in your community. Have the papers ready for the appraiser. Lender - Get the name of the company and the contact of the buyer's lender. Call the lender every few days and make sure all is processing well. If the lender shows any concern, call the buyer and discuss the problem.
Time is of the essence and stipulated in the contract.
Be sure the buyer is performing his duties as per contract. Insurance - the buyer will need insurance to close on the loan. Call and be sure a binder has been purchased. Closing day - Plan for one final inspection the morning of closing. This gives the buyer one last chance to be sure the property is as it should be before signing the deed.
