An Early Closing Could Save You Money—or Cost You Big.

What Homebuyers Should Know

Home is sold to an eager buyer who agrees to an early closing.

Last month, I found the perfect home. My eyes were wide as I wandered around the property, admiring the big backyard, cozy kitchen, and the massive primary closet. Learning that my favorite pizza place was just a short walk away was the cherry on top. I had to live there.

We made an offer the very same day, and I waited, nervously, for the agents’ response.

I knew the seller already had another couple of offers, but I was crossing my fingers all evening, hoping the homebuying gods would smile down on me.
