Closing a real estate deal should be exciting- but it’s also where things can fall apart fast. From missed deadlines to incomplete paperwork, even small errors can delay or derail your transaction entirely.
As a top tier real estate transaction coordinator in Denver, I’ve seen it all- and with over a decade of experience and 3,000+ successful closings, I know exactly how to keep your deals smooth, compliant, and stress-free. Here are the top mistakes realtors make during the contract- and how I help prevent them.
1. Missing Deadlines
Mistake: Critical dates for inspections, appraisals, or loan approvals get overlooked- putting the entire deal at risk.
How I Save the Day: I monitor every key contract deadline and send proactive reminders, ensuring nothing slips through the cracks. Every date is tracked and met, keeping your transaction on schedule.
2. Incomplete or Incorrect Paperwork
Mistake: Missing signatures or small contract errors can cause major delays- or worse, void the transaction.
How I Save the Day: I review and organize all documents, confirm signatures, and ensure each form is submitted correctly for brokerage compliance. My attention to detail helps agents avoid costly mistakes and earn faster approvals.
3. Poor Communication
Mistake: When communication breaks down between parties, frustration builds- and deals fall apart.
How I Save the Day: I act as your communication hub, providing consistent updates to clients, agents, and lenders. With clear communication and quick responses, everyone stays informed from contract to close.
4. Last-Minute Surprises
Mistake: Unexpected title issues, appraisal gaps, or financing problems can derail even the strongest contracts.
How I Save the Day: I spot potential red flags early and help navigate solutions before they become deal breakers. My proactive approach means fewer surprises-and smoother closings.
5. Neglecting Final Walkthrough Details
Mistake: Rushing the final walkthrough or skipping key repairs can lead to post-closing disputes.
How I Save the Day: I remind agents to confirm all inspection items are addressed and guide them through final walkthrough best practices. A thorough checklist means a drama-free closing day.
