This Will Most Likely Happen ...

Buyers

• You will not be told how much money to bring to closing until the day of your closing and many times only hours or minutes before the closing
• The dates on your contract will change, perhaps multiple times
• You will become anxious or nervous
• You will become irritated or annoyed about frequent and last-minute paperwork requests with seemingly impossible deadlines
• You will want to tell your friends and family about your experience on social media sites -Don't, wait until your sale is complete.
• The mortgage company will pull another credit report on you days before—or even the day of—your closing
• The home inspection is to verify what you do not already know about the property.
• Short sales and foreclosures may take a lot longer then a typical sale.

Sellers

• The date on the contract will change; it is a guesstimate and subject to many variables (i.e., the attorney’s timetable)
• The property must appraise.
• Agents will miss showing appointments without calling
• Appointments will be made and cancelled at the last minute
• Some showings will last about five minutes and some showings will last 3 hours
• Agents will knock on your door or even drive by, see you in the yard,and ask if they can see your house (if this happens, call your own agent)
