292: How to Keep Deals from Falling Apart


Listen Later

Getting a house under contract is not the finish line—it’s just the beginning of an obstacle course full of potential pitfalls! In this episode, we’re walking you through the essential steps to keep your transaction on track from contract to closing, because nothing is worse than a premature “Sold” post!

We’re covering:

  • The #1 mistake agents make when handling offers

  • The email template that has saved Alissa’s transactions countless times

  • Red flags that signal your deal might be in trouble

  • The proactive steps you need to take before accepting an offer

  • How to avoid last-minute closing disasters that make sellers (and buyers) furious

  • What to check on a pre-approval letter before celebrating that contract

From poorly written offers to unresponsive lenders, we’re breaking down everything that can derail a deal—and, more importantly, how to prevent it. Because no one wants to break the bad news to their seller that their "pending" home isn’t actually closing.

If you’ve ever had a deal fall apart at the last minute, or if you just want to sharpen your skills to prevent transaction drama, this episode is for you!
