MODULE 7 – MANAGING THE TRANSACTION Example of Post Contract Ratification Email - continued
DO NOT turn off utilities at this time if you’re moving out before closing. Please leave them on until at least the day after the closing. The contract requires you to have utilities on and it’s safer for your home to do so. Our next responsibility is to order Wood Destroying Insect (Termite), Well and/or Septic inspections if your contract requires you to do so. Often, we’ll need to schedule a septic tank clean out. If you have preferred vendors for these tasks, please let me know. If you need a service provider, you can always find a list on my website here: [link to agent’s website with list of available vendors] If the provider you need isn’t on the list, then I’ll help you find someone. If you live in a Home Owner’s Association, you and I will coordinate ordering the HOA documents. That should be done soon, but we typically don’t deliver them to the buyer until after the home inspection has been finalized. Remember that the buyer has the right to void the contract any time before delivery of these documents and up to three days after delivery. You will generally only receive information about the closing from me, but sometimes the legal company will send you information directly. If they do, please let me know so that I can ensure that we’re all on the same page. An appraiser will be contacting either you or I to schedule the appraisal of the home. If they call you, please email me and let me know who the appraiser is and when they are scheduled to come out. Other things will come up, but this is a general overview of what to expect over the next few days. I’ll be here the entire way to keep you up to date, ensure the process is moving along well and ensure that your questions are answered. As always, if you need me, please let me know!
