Realtors, this one is for your buyers. 👇
Getting an offer accepted is exciting…And then comes the part where your buyer suddenly starts receiving emails, deadlines, requests, documents, appointments, and instructions from five different directions.
After my years of transactions management, I’ve learned that many of the questions and stressful moments that happen later can be prevented by setting better expectations at the beginning.
Your buyer should know who they’ll hear from, what they need to watch for, which dates matter, when they need to respond, and who to contact when they have a question. And sometimes, the smallest reminders make the biggest difference:
📩 Check your email. Important requests can be time-sensitive.
🏦 Stay responsive to your lender. Even after pre-approval, there may be more they need along the way.
💳 Don’t make major financial changes without asking first. Yes, even if that new living room furniture would look perfect in the new house. 😉
📅 Know your important dates. Inspection, deadlines, final walk-through, closing...your buyer should know what’s coming next.
❓ Ask questions early. A small question today is much easier to handle than a surprise three days before closing.
🔐 And always verify wiring instructions before sending money. This is one reminder I will happily repeat over and over again.
These things may feel routine when you work in real estate every day, but they are not routine to your client.
Part of my role as a Transaction Coordinator is helping keep those details organized and communication moving so your clients feel informed and supported from contract to close...without every reminder and follow-up having to come from you.
Save this for the next time you have a buyer go under contract. 📌
