What Could Delay Your Real Estate Closing?

  A real estate closing is a complicated transaction involving many different factors that have to all come together seamlessly.   Once a closing date is decided, the expectations are set for the buyer and seller.   But a closing date is not an absolute, it is a target.   Between the time you sign a contract and the time you close, there will be the inspection, the appraisal, and the mortgage commitment from the lender.   There may also be contingencies in the contract.   Each one of those parts of the process can potentially create a delay or another action step that needs to be taken in order to close the real estate transaction.
