Not all deals are the same and some are really difficult. That is where you really need a Realtor. I just had one that I did with my Premium Flat Fee Listing System.
The property was in Willowick, a city that demands a lot of very different closing issues.
The first issue was just getting the inspectors in the property. There was a paper that needed to be signed and notarized that the property had smoke and carbon detectors in the property before the city inspectors would even inspect the property. No other city requires that,
After the inspection the city required that a sidewalk be installed. In Willowick the city needed the sidewalk to be poured and a permit. It took 3 weeks to generate a contractor that had time to do 1 sidewalk. We finally found one that could for over $800.
Willowick does not send paperwork through email so you have to go to the city building for every piece of paper you need to have to sell a home. Those papers generated about 8-9 visits to their city building.
We are not done yet though. Willowick also requires RITA (city tax) to be confirmed and paid. They are the only city that I know of that requires that,
After all that I personally had to go to the city building to pick up the paperwork (could easily have been emailed to the title company) and get it to title for closing.
All this took about 6 weeks to accomplish and as a Realtor I really had to stay on top of all the city's requirements which were too much in my opinion.
Dealing with these types of issues is easier for me as a Realtor and it is still hard. I cannot imagine a home seller going alone on this, Especially an out of state seller.
