Ch.9 · Closing
What you're signing and what buyers miss
Chapter 1 · Pre-Approval
What actually happens when you click "Contact Agent"
The agent who calls you paid to be there. That changes everything.
Chapter 2 · Affordability
Where buyers accidentally overpay before they make an offer
The number your lender approved is not the number you should spend.
Chapter 3 · Interior Walk
Walk a property the way I do — pick your home type
Most buyers look at countertops. I look at the basement and panel.
Chapter 4 · Pre-Offer
Where buyers get pushed into offers they can't take back
Competing offers, manufactured urgency — all of it explained.
Chapter 5 · Under Contract
Offer accepted — where deals fall apart
Small mistakes here can quietly kill a deal after you think you're safe.
Chapter 6 · Deadlines
Three deadlines running in parallel — miss one and it's gone
Loan contingency. Appraisal. Title. All running from Day 1.
Chapter 7 · Inspection
Where buyers miss the problems they end up paying for
By the time most buyers read the report, earnest money is at risk.
Chapter 8 · Final Walk-Through
The final walk-through is not a second showing
Same condition as the day you made the offer. Seller out.
Chapter 9 · Closing Day
What you're signing — and what most buyers don't catch
Wire fraud. The note. The deed of trust. I protect you here.
