"Most of all, thank you for being my advocate..."
"I just wanted to write to thank you for your amazing job in helping me buy a house here in the Durham/Chapel Hill area. You made the transition of moving, most of all-buying my first home- a very smooth and wonderful experience." "From the first time I called you, you were so friendly and encouraging and helpful...you always went the extra mile. For that, I am extremely grateful." "Most of all, I thank you for being my advocate during the entire buying process. Especially since I was buying from sellers who did not have a REALTOR-things could have been very tricky. However, you were always thinking about what was best for me, as the buyer, and I really appreciate that. I am sure without your advocacy, many of the repairs and/or closing cost deductions would not have occurred!" "Andrea, thank you again for everything you provided during the home-buying process. You will be the first one I call when I decide to sell my home, and you are already the first one I tell people to call when they are looking for a fabulous REALTOR."
Sarah McWhinney, August 2006

Closing or Settlement >Final Arrangements
Some homebuyers approach the final days of the home sale transaction with great enthusiasm, feeling utterly confident that the end is in sight, and feeling completely organized about the move. They have accounted for every detail, contacting the moving company, arranging for the transfer of their telephone, electric, water, and gas accounts and having the home professionally cleaned. They start checking off the days until the closing on their calendar. But in reality, the closing may not be entirely predictable.
It is very useful for homebuyers (and sellers) to remember that closing dates are not set in stone. Lenders, appraisers, title attorneys, credit check services, and anyone else who is involved in the transactions can potentially cause a delay in the closing. If buyers keep this in mind while making arrangements, they can minimize the possible cost and inconveniences due to a delay.
As the closing approaches, the real estate agent will stay on top of the situation and keep in touch with everyone involved in the transaction to prevent any unnecessary delays.
