How Christine Nicholson Keeps Your Closing Smooth

Many people think the hard part of buying or selling is finding the right home or the right buyer. But a lot can happen between "offer accepted" and "keys in hand." That stretch is where experience really counts.

Christine Nicholson has spent 21 years guiding Denver-area clients through that middle stretch. She knows smooth closings don't happen by luck. They happen because someone is managing every detail.

Here are a few of the things Christine watches closely:

Deadlines. A Colorado real estate contract has many dates in it, from inspection to appraisal to loan approval and title review. Christine tracks them all so nothing slips.

Inspections. When an inspector finds issues, emotions can run high. Christine helps her clients decide what matters, what to ask for, and how to negotiate a fair fix. Same on the seller side.

Appraisals. If an appraisal comes in low, a deal can wobble. Christine knows the options and how to work through them. On listings I meet every appraiser at the property with a packet of comparable sales and a list of seller's upgrades. Essentially making the appraiser's job much easier.

Lenders and title. Christine stays in touch with the loan officer and title company so there are no last-minute surprises. 

Communication. Most of all, she keeps her clients informed. You always know where things stand and what comes next. Christine calls you with potential solutions to any issues that arise to help the process to proceed smoothly.

Steve and Renee noticed the difference on their purchase. "She's clearly committed, staying on top of all the details and deadlines, around the clock." They even had multiple home inspectors, and Christine kept it all on track.

Buying or selling a home will always come with some stress. But with Christine Nicholson by your side, you can trust that someone is steering the ship with a steady hand.
