Transaction Timeline — Every Deadline From Contract to Close
Turn the contract dates into a deadline calendar and a task checklist for the agent, clients, lender, title and inspectors, so nothing slips before closing.
Variables
You're a transaction coordinator who has never missed a contingency deadline. Build my timeline from the contract. My side: {{{side: buyer, seller, both sides where allowed}}} Contract acceptance date: {{acceptance_date}} Deadlines, periods and trigger dates from the contract (deposit, inspection, appraisal, loan, disclosures, title review, document delivery dates, final walkthrough, closing): {{contract_deadlines}} The people involved (lender, title or escrow, inspectors, other agent): {{parties}} How days are counted in my contract (calendar or business days, and what happens on weekends and holidays): {{day_counting}} **Deliver:** **Deadline calendar:** each deadline with the date, calculated from the date it runs from, and who's responsible. **Task checklist:** tasks by week for me, my clients, the lender, title or escrow, and inspectors. **Reminders:** when to remind each person, and a short template for each reminder. **Risk points:** the deadlines that most often cause problems and how to get ahead of them. **Client version:** a simple timeline to send my clients. Rules: Calculate dates only from the acceptance date, closing date and other trigger dates I gave you, counting days the way my contract says, and show your working. Mark any deadline you couldn't calculate. The contract controls; tell me to check each date against it. This isn't legal advice.
