🔑🏡 Ready to close the deal? Hold on! Here are 7 closing day surprises you might face when buying a home:

1️⃣ A Year’s Worth of Trash at the Curb

Before signing, ensure the trash at the curb is taken care of. You don't want to inherit a pile of garbage with your new keys!

2️⃣ The Seller Hasn’t Moved Out Yet

If the sellers are still packing, consider delaying the closing or drafting an agreement to avoid complications.

3️⃣ The Seller Took Something They Were Supposed to Leave

Missing appliances or fixtures? Discuss replacement or compensation to keep things fair.

4️⃣ The Seller Didn’t Fix Something They Agreed to Repair

Confirm all agreed-upon repairs are completed. Hold funds in escrow for minor issues or delay closing for major ones.

5️⃣ The Lender Isn’t Wiring the Money

Sometimes lenders delay, but stay calm. Communicate with your agent and push them to expedite the process.

6️⃣ The Time Is Being Rescheduled

Flexibility is key! Expect scheduling adjustments to accommodate all parties involved.

7️⃣ The Utilities Are Shut Off

Lights out? Don't fret! A quick call to utility companies should resolve the issue swiftly.
