Why Is Summer a High-Risk Season for Closing Delays?

June marks the beginning of the busiest real estate season in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Southern Maine. While high demand brings opportunity, it also introduces scheduling complications. Families are traveling, schools are closing, and lenders are processing increased volumes. These factors can easily delay real estate closings if early steps are missed.

At Accurate Title, we help agents and buyers stay prepared with a summer closing strategy rooted in local experience.

What Are the First Title Steps Agents Should Take in June?

To keep closings on track in June and beyond, real estate professionals should complete these title-related tasks right away:

1. Submit a Fully Executed Purchase and Sale Agreement

Include all signed addendums and counteroffers. Accurate Title can’t start the process without complete documentation.

2. Order the Title Search Immediately

Delaying this step invites risk. Title issues like liens or boundary disputes can take time to resolve.

3. Provide Contact Information for All Involved Parties

Ensure we can easily reach buyers, sellers, agents, attorneys, and lenders. Consistent communication avoids delays.

4. Request Seller Documents Early

These may include mortgage statements, HOA information, or estate documents. Early collection leads to faster title clearance.

5. Communicate Proactively with Accurate Title

Even minor timeline changes can affect title coordination. Keep your title partner informed throughout.

What Summer Factors Cause the Most Closing Delays?

Several seasonal trends create closing pressure in June and July. Here’s how to anticipate and prevent them:

Are Vacations Impacting Availability?

Yes. Confirm the availability of all parties (especially attorneys and lenders) before scheduling your closing.

Do School Commitments Delay Families?

They can. June’s graduations and school transitions often shift buyers’ and sellers’ focus. Build in extra time for paperwork.

How Do Lenders Handle the Summer Volume?

Many lenders are under pressure in early summer. Submitting complete, accurate loan documents early helps reduce delays.

What Contract Issues Should I Watch For?

Missing signatures, absent addendums, and outdated forms are common errors that hold up closings. Review your documents thoroughly before submission.

How Can Agents Submit “Clean” Contracts for Faster Processing?

A clean contract ensures the title process starts smoothly. To improve contract quality:

• Verify All Buyer/Seller Names Match across documents

• Attach All Addendums Upfront rather than sending piecemeal updates

• Use Secure Submission Tools for faster and more organized processing

• Inform Us of Changes Immediately to avoid revision delays

Is There a Checklist to Keep Summer Closings on Track?

Yes. Here’s your June-focused checklist:

☑ Submit a complete, fully signed contract within 24–48 hours of acceptance

☑ Order the title search immediately after execution

☑ Confirm all party contact details and preferred communication methods

☑ Collect seller documents including mortgage statements and HOA information

☑ Review and attach all necessary addendums and disclosures

☑ Verify scheduling flexibility around vacations, school events, and holidays
