I helped a wonderful couple buy their first home in New Fairfield, Connecticut.  We closed yesterday, and they immediately began moving in. 

At the closing, I warned them:  "Something will break shortly after you move in.  Don't worry.  It won't be the end of the world.  You will get through it." 

They laughed at me: "Yeah...yeah...yeah...  Whatever you say, Don." 

That was yesterday.  Tonight, they called.  "The toilet overflowed and there is water all over the bathroom.  Does this count as the thing that will break as soon as we move in?" 

Fortunately, they were laughing - or, at least they were trying to cover up the screams with laughter.  I assured them that, yes, this is their one major initial problem in the house. I also told them that something else will happen, but it will be minor and funny...like a doorknob coming off in their hands, or an electrical breaker will trip and they won't remember where the breaker box is.

It's just the way it is.  These things happen.  Welcome to home ownership!

Real estate is never dull.  That much is certain.

When buying or selling a home, the exact date that a home will close can sometimes be a bit of a moving target.

We had a closing today that had been previously delayed by the lender but was finally scheduled for this afternoon.  So, I met with the buyers and performed a final walk-thru of the home.  Then we headed to the attorney's office for the closing.

We arrived at the attorney's office at 3:00.  The paperwork hadn't yet arrived from the bank.  Thirty minutes later, the paperwork arrived but needed to be changed.  Thirty minutes later, another change was necessary.  This went on for a while.

At 6:00, three hours later, the attorney told us all to go home.  The bank just could not get the paperwork together, and they still had not wired the buyers' funds to the attorney.  We were not destined to close today.

So, we went home.  A little tired and a lot stressed.  Buyers were upset.  Seller was upset.  Agents were upset.  We shall try again tomorrow.  The attorney promises that tomorrow will be quick and painless.

We'll think good thoughts...

It never fails.  Something always turns up at the last minute when we are planning to close on a home.

This afternoon, I have a closing for my buyers, who are buying a new home in New Fairfield, Connecticut.

Of course, something turned up - a repair that wasn't made.  We'll deal with it, but all it does is add more stress for the buyers - as well as for the sellers. 

Sellers can help to avoid these "Last-Minute Gotchas" by following a few easy steps:

1. If you agree to make a repair, then make that repair before closing
2. If you know of a home defect, then disclose it up front

These two easy steps will help avoid possible pitfalls that can derail a closing.  Let's avoid any surprises.

Closing on a home should be a happy occasion - for both buyers and sellers.  Let's not add to the stress that is already inherent in such a transaction.

Since tomorrow is election, day, I thought this might be a fun reminder about the perils of voting:

Don't Vote While Wearing Suede

I plan on digging out an old leather jacket, just for the task of voting.  Just to be safe.

Safe Voting Everybody!

When buyers make an offer to buy a home, one of the details listed in the offer is the anticipated closing date.  Actually, in the offers used to buy homes here in the Danbury, Connecticut area, the wording is that the home will close "on or before" the chosen date. 

Of course, this date can be negotiated between the buyers and sellers. 

However, given the mortgage market of the past year, we have run into issues where many homes do not close as planned.  The lenders are taking longer to remove conditions of the loans prior to issuing their clear to close.  Or, the lenders are asking for additional paperwork at the last minute.  Sometimes they will ask for additional paperwork multiple times... 

As I tell my clients: It's all part of the fun of buying and selling a home! 

It's stressful.  Buyers want to close on their new home and move in.  They may already be closing on the sale of their current home and will now need temporary housing.  Or, they may be renting currently and need to give ample notice to their landlord.  Sellers may need to close on their current home in order to close on their new home, or they may be relocating and want to complete the transaction before the leave the area.

One home's delay in closing can cause a domino effect of other homes not being able to close on time. 

Given the current state of the mortgage market, I inform all my buyer and seller clients that we need contingency plans in place in case the home does not close on the anticipated date.  The closing date is often out of our hands and back-up plans need to be in place.  In addition, we all need a lot of patience and understanding.  In most cases, no one wants the delays.  But will have to deal with them, and together, we will deal with them. 

Buying and selling homes is stressful enough.  Plan for what may happen and issues that may arise will be easier to handle.

This Saturday night, before you go to bed, be sure to set your clocks back one hour, as we end Daylight Savings Time. 

Sunday morning, check your computers, PDAs and other technology tools to make sure they have all been updated accurately.  If they have not changed their time overnight, then check to see if there are available updates to download to adjust for this new Daylight Savings Time schedule.  It may make sense to check for those updates before Sunday.

While you're at it, take this opportunity to replace the batteries in your smoke detectors.  Replacing the smoke detector batteries twice each year - coinciding with when we change our clocks - ensures that you will be protected in your home in the event of fire.
