FOR BUYERS:

Coach Borrowers to GET HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE immediately at contract.

Many of today’s closing delays are caused by a lack of Homeowners Insurance)

FOR BUYERS:

New Construction:

Finalize price of home (with upgrades) 15 days before Consummation

Page 79: 1 Kiss the Hud1 and GFE Goodbye TREC Approved for 2.0 hours of Continuing Education Credit

79

Think about Timing:

• Inspection Period: A 10 day inspection period & 4 day negotiation of Repairs is a lot of time in a 30 day contract.

• ASKING to delay Appraisal until after the Inspection Period, MAY CAUSE DELAYED CLOSING

• Appraisal needs 7-12 day turn around times.

• Underwriting needs a minimum of 2-3 days.

• Closing Disclosure needs to be prepared

7-8 days prior to Consummation (aka Closing) 10 days prior for Large Lenders

Page 80: 1 Kiss the Hud1 and GFE Goodbye TREC Approved for 2.0 hours of Continuing Education Credit

80

FOR SELLERS:

• Write ALL CONTACT Information on Contract. • Cell phones, • work phones, • emails, • addresses, • HOA or Condo Association Contact Information.

• Get Copy of Contract to Lender and Title Agent. ASAP

• Coach Sellers to quickly comply with all terms of the contract.

Make Repairs as fast as possible Allow Inspectors & Appraisers access

• New Construction Builders: Must FILE NOTICE OF COMPLETION 10 days prior to Consummation

• Require Sellers to Buy Owner’s Title Insurance (this removes “Optional” from TRID Forms.)
