Closing Day

The end of the month typically signifies multiple closings and today is no exception. I arrived at the office around noon today and there is a closing going on in our conference room. People generally close on the sale of a home at the end of the month in order to avoid additional costs associated with getting into the next month. I believe that there are several other closings scheduled for today at our office. It is a very stressful time for all involved. The agents, the sellers and the buyers. Much can go wrong at a closing and unless all parties have well-prepared and avoided any snafus, the deal could still fall through right up until the closing. The best thing about a successful closing is that the parties involved are generally pleased with the results. The agents get paid for their hard work, the sellers get their monies for the sale of their home and the buyers get the home that they have dreamed about. It can be a very rewarding experience for the agents involved, especially to see their clients' smiles after it is over.
