One of the most important things a buyer’s agent can do is set expectations early.

Please explain to your buyer:

  • The lender must approve the net on the sale as per discounted loan payoff.
  • Approval typically takes 3-6 weeks.
  • There may be a counter from seller as seller is negotiating lender payoff.
  • Closing dates may change.
  • Additional documents may be requested.

Most buyers are perfectly comfortable with the process when they understand it upfront.
