When cash buyers arrive:
During or after viewing, ask these key questions:
❓ "What's your typical offer range based on what you've seen?"
This gives you a ballpark before formal offers.
❓ "How quickly can you close?"
Some can close in 7 days, others need 14-21 days.
❓ "Do you charge any fees, commissions, or closing costs?"
Answer should be NO. If they charge fees, walk away.
❓ "Can you provide references or recent Austin deals?"
Legitimate buyers will happily share proof of past transactions.

Check your email/phone regularly. Title companies or buyers may have quick questions. Fast responses = faster closing.
You have 2-3 days until closing. If you haven't already:
✅ Day 5 Success: Paperwork in motion, you're coasting to the finish line! 📄
Final details before tomorrow's closing. Make sure everything is in order and you understand the closing process.

You'll receive a Closing Disclosure (or Settlement Statement) showing:
