Dear [NAMES],

Congratulations! Your home is under contract. Here is a timeline of the important events leading to your closing.

  1. Your Effective Start Date is [EFFECTIVE START DATE].
  2. Escrow Deposit is due to [TITLE COMPANY] by [ESCROW DUE DATE].
  3. Home Inspection is due by [INSPECTION DUE DATE]. You do not have to attend, but it is recommended that you do. A septic inspection, wind mitigation and/or a wood destroying organism (WDO) inspection may also be scheduled for the same time or separately if necessary.
  4. Title Commitment is due by [TITLE] from the title company. In this commitment, the title insurance company discloses to all parties involved in the real estate transaction any defects, liens and obligations that affect the property.
  5. Your Home’s Appraisal is due [APPRAISAL DUE DATE] and is initiated by the lender to ensure the loan value is supported by an appraised value. You will be notified when this is scheduled.
  6. The Loan Approval is due from the buyer’s lender by [LOAN APPROVAL DATE]. This signifies the buyer’s mortgage is approved for closing.
  7. Survey may be due before closing and will be ordered by the title company. We will let you know when/if this is scheduled.
  8. Final Walk-Through will be scheduled before the buyer’s closing. This usually occurs right before the buyer’s signing but sometimes happens the day before so they can see the property one last time before the purchase. Don’t forget to turn all utilities on for this walk-through.

If everything goes according to plan, then you will be closing on [CLOSE DATE].

You will be contacted soon by the closing agent at [TITLE CO NAME]. Please work with them on any information they might need to get you to the closing table on time.

Dear [NAMES],

I hope you are doing well and getting excited for your closing in approximately 2 weeks. Here are a few last-minute details to consider:

Utilities: If you haven’t already done so, please make arrangements to have your utilities disconnected the day after closing. This will ensure everything is working for a final walk-through or in case of any unforeseen event at closing.

Move Out: Also, it is customary to move all belongings out of the property by at least the day prior to closing. Additionally:

  • Please broom-sweep the property
  • Wipe down all surfaces
  • Discard all trash in a trash bin
  • Remove all chemicals and/or pesticides (touchup paint is OK)
  • Wipe down and clean appliances
  • Please leave additional keys or entry devices with any manuals or special instructions in a drawer in the kitchen. (I will inform the buyer’s agent where they can find these items.)

In other words, please leave the home in the condition that you would expect to receive it if you were purchasing the property.

I have reached out to the buyer’s agent to set up a final walk-through. As soon as I receive that date, I will let you know.

As always, please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

[TC’S NAME]

EMAIL 1: Welcome

Send to: Buying Client

Subject Line: Congratulations and Welcome

Dear [NAMES],

Thank you for trusting us to lead your home buying experience. Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is [NAME], and I will be the Transaction Coordinator who will be working with you and [AGENT’S NAME]. We will work together to ensure that your homebuying experience runs smoothly and seamlessly.

Now that your contract has been accepted as of [EFFECTIVE DATE], here is a timeline of important dates to come:

Inspection is due by [INSPECTION DATE] (an inspection information email from me to follow).

Appraisal is due by [APPRAISAL DATE]. (This will be initiated by your lender.)

Loan Approval is due by [DATE]. (Your mortgage is conditionally approved and waiting for the underwriters to clear to close.)

Closing Day is set for [DATE].

If, for any reason, you feel that you will be unable to meet any of the deadlines, please let us know at least two days in advance, so we can take action to keep you under contract.

Throughout this process, you will be receiving several emails from me with updates, reminders and an occasional question.

EMAIL 2: Escrow and Title Co

Send to: Buying Client

Subject Line: Escrow and Title Company Important Information

Dear [NAMES],

Please be informed that [POINT OF CONTACT] AT [NAME OF TITLE CO] will be handling your title at closing. It’s important that you’re aware of common wire fraud issues if you are wiring your escrow deposit.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Never trust wiring instructions sent via email. Cyber criminals are hacking email accounts and sending emails with fake wiring instructions. These emails are convincing and sophisticated. Always independently confirm wiring instructions in person or via a telephone call to a trusted and verified phone number. Never wire money without double-checking that the wiring instructions are correct.

Alternatively, you may choose to use Earnnest, a safer, secure method of digitally sending the deposit funds through our transaction management software, dotloop. I can assist with this if you are interested.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns. I’m here to help.

Sincerely,

[TC’S NAME]

Here are a few inspection companies we would recommend. You may select any company you wish.

[INSPECTION CO 1 NAME, ADDRESS, PHONE]

Per the contract, your inspection period ends on [INSPECTION DATE]. Please schedule your inspection no later than 2 days before [INSPECTION DATE]. Of course, the earlier the better in case there are problems or concerns that need to be negotiated.
