chances are, with the right real estate expert guidance, your home sale will close. this is the most common reason a transaction fails to close. your real estate professional can offer a list of contractors to complete the necessary work. you might want to find out where the buyer is in their home sale. if there are concerns the home will not appraise accurately, be ready with a home fact sheet to provide the appraiser and underwriter. if you have a third-party on the deed, you’ll need to resolve the sale with that party.
