Contract to Closing

Many people believe that the hard work is done once a property goes under contract.  This is wrong!  The hard work is actually just beginning.  Many things can go wrong at this phase of the contract.  Some of the pitfalls can just be minor disturbances and others can cause the deal to completely fall apart and have the property go back on the market.  To prepare yourself fully it is important to understand the processes involved before continuing and make sure you are fully aware of any potential problems.  If you’re working with a REALTOR® he or she can guide you through this process.
