Closing is the date everyone has been waiting for. Unless you have a difficult lawyer or lawyers everyone except the buyer and the seller should stay out of the way, unless they are called upon. When condition dates have been signed off on in timely and professional timelines and no one is being rushed, the closing should be exceptionally smooth. Ask any lawyer, a detailed Agreement of Purchase and Sale is not required until there is a problem, so don’t be afraid of many pages of terms and conditions in an agreement of purchase and sale. A well-drafted Agreement of Purchase & Sale will include many items the closing lawyer needs from the seller’s lawyer, having these only makes his job easier. I have seen it when the better offer is not accepted because the representation did not understand the writing of the agreement, so they and their seller accept the offer with the least amount of writing (terms & conditions) thinking it is the least complicated and easiest offer to deal with. So, ensure your representation has the necessary experience to understand and relate to these lengthier purchase and sale agreements. If your representative doesn’t understand a clause, its purpose, and how it relates to you and the transaction, they should seek proper advice.
