Serious question, did anyone else have a crazy long closing process before?
I just closed a deal in 18 days, which feels like a small miracle. My old way was a total mess (I'm talking 60+ days easy), mostly because I'd wait for the buyer to send me stuff and then just sit on it for a week before looking. The change happened about four months ago after a deal fell apart in Cincinnati. Now, I check my email for title paperwork the second I get the alert, sign it right then on my phone with Docusign, and send it back with a note saying 'done'. I also started calling the lender every Monday morning just to say hi and ask if they need anything from me. It sounds simple, but being the first one to move each time has cut my stress in half. Has anyone else found that just being super quick to respond shaved weeks off their timeline?

Reminds me of a deal that died over a missed email.

Used to be one of those people who rolled their eyes at "a missed email killed the deal" stories (seemed so dramatic). But after seeing it happen to a colleague where a simple follow-up got buried in spam and the other party assumed disinterest, I totally get it now. It's crazy how something so small can tank something so big.
