Financing conditions typically run 7 to 10 business days, and a lender needing more documentation is the single most common reason a possession date slips. Joel follows up with the buyer's lender directly rather than waiting for a call back, so a stalled file gets flagged while there is still time to fix it.
A home inspection, usually $400 to $600, can surface a repair item late in the process, and the response to that item, not the item itself, is what protects the schedule. Joel negotiates a credit or a fix on a timeline that still lets the file close on the date the lawyer has set.
That coordination between lender, lawyer and inspector is what keeps a possession date firm instead of becoming a moving target. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
