Bob Spoiled Us
"Bob's professional approach and his in-depth knowledge of local housing conditions (from soils to builders) are tremendous assets not often found in other realtors. His personal integrity and level of service are beyond reproach. We have turned to Bob for over 20 years to buy, sell and--on one occasion--lease our homes. Our only complaint--Bob spoiled us. We have been consistently challenged trying to find a Realtor to match Bob's skills and level of service in our new location in Oregon. (We miss you Bob.)"

Closing or Settlement >Real Estate Repairs
In most real estate transactions there are a few responsibilities that the sellers need to handle before the closing, such as repairs and termite extermination. The deadline for completing these obligations usually coincides with the actual closing. Many sellers barely make that deadline. Those who wait until the last minute to handle these matters may miss the deadline altogether or pay high rates in order to get a plumber, roofer or electrician on an emergency basis.
Your buyers will probably get a structural inspection done after the contract is ratified. Within 10 days of the contract's acceptance by all parties, the pest inspection should be scheduled. Even though sellers usually know well in advance what is needed, they sometimes put things off until the buyers have finalized the loan approval process. Since these repairs will have to be made anyway, it is a good idea to get them done promptly.
