DON'T CANCEL UNTIL YOU CLOSE!

Your closing is set for a certain day. Everything appears to be progressing normally. Then:::The closing is delayed. I don't know about your part of the country but this happens in our part of Georgia quite frequently. It is usually a financing issue. We had a closing scheduled for a Friday last month. Friday came, my sellers left the home, and the closing was delayed because of financing. We would be closing on Monday. My sellers were frantic. They had canceled their homeowners insurance on Friday and would be without through the weekend. The recent weather added to their fears. Fortunately they had an insurance pro who put their policy back in place. We also had the same issue with the utilities. If you sense any problems ask your sellers to delay canceling their utilities and homeowners insurance.
