B) Both the sellers and buyers’ lawyers review the completed paperwork to ensure they+ are satisfied. C) Within 48hrs of an accepted offer a deposit is due that is held in trust by our lawyer D) Buyers need to contact their insurer to confirm insurability for the home they are purchasing. After these 4 activities are satisfied, the deal is firm and the home is officially SOLD.
