Just cos they lost some money.I'm so happy for the foreclosure settlement deal.

When I open escrow with my title company I inform them that you would like to complete a simultaneous closing and with two separate escrows and HUD 1 Settlement Statements for the property.

This should have already been a common practice, but because of the commission structure before the NAR settlement, lots of agents did not execute contracts with buyers in order to gain them as clients. 

Let's see what happens.Any advice for how to make sure tenants don't try anything on the 31st should everything work out and a settlement is reached?

I have come to settlement several times with a bottle of Dom for my agents.

We charge $595 and I waive it for repeat and high price point clients.The new NAR settlement rules also mandate and allow agents since August 17th to negotiate their own buyer-side commission.

And choose the Settlement company.Who is ordering the Inspection...you or the Turnkey company?

Technically, the seller lied on the settlement sheet, he couldn't provide any documentation to prove this tenant in question didn't have her last month rent.  

I use Omniland Settlement in Timonium.  

The buyer's lender should be able to issue some sort of pre-approval letter within ten days of receiving a fully documented loan application from the buyer, but the lender will probably need a full 45 days to get a conventional loan to settlement.
