Description

What really happens after a Purchase & Sale Agreement is signed, and why does it sometimes feel like the file disappears into a “black hole”? This class pulls back the curtain on the closing process from an attorney’s perspective, giving agents a clear, practical understanding of what happens between contract and closing. Designed to bridge the gap between execution and “clear to close,” this session will walk through the critical information attorneys and lenders need, when they need it, and how proactive communication can prevent costly delays. You’ll gain insight into how the P&S serves as the blueprint for the entire transaction—and how small oversights can create major complications. We’ll cover key topics including: • Essential contract details that impact title and lender documents • Common pitfalls with buyer/seller information and how to avoid them • Vermont-specific considerations like homestead status, withholding taxes, and permits • Best practices for drafting clear, enforceable special conditions • How agents, lenders, and attorneys coordinate behind the scenes • Real-world mistakes that delay closings—and simple ways to prevent them Whether you’re a newer agent or a seasoned professional, this class will help you submit cleaner contracts, improve communication with attorneys and lenders, and keep your transactions moving smoothly to the closing table.
