Find out how many days of notification they need to switch or cancel service, then let them know when you have a firm closing date. LETTING EMOTIONS TAKE OVER Keep calm during the entire home-selling process, especially during the inspection. Be realistic and understand that there will be issues. It’s not unusual to have to take care of some repairs. Don’t let the buyer’s demand to complete a small repair kill the deal. On the other hand, don’t commit to fixing anything in advance (e.g., “Sure, we can put on a new roof ”), unless you’re committed to handling it emotionally and financially. Decide what type of repairs you can realistically complete. Repairs can end up costing more money than anticipated. • • •
