What’s inside

A 5-page PDF you can print or fill in on your phone.

  1. Know where you stand

    Your contract and the stage of the deal matter.

  2. The first 24 hours

    Stay calm and get it in writing.

  3. The deposit

    It doesn’t settle everything.

  4. Extension requests

    Don’t agree until you know how it affects you.

  5. If you’re buying too

    Protect your own closing.

  6. Keep a record

    Your lawyer will need it all.

  7. Next time: prevent it

    Judge the whole offer, not just the price.
