Get The Signed Purchase Agreement Into Escrow

Get the signed purchase agreement into escrow immediately and sign off any contingencies as they are removed- remember TIME KILLS DEALS. Make sure you go through the Allocation of Purchase Price in the beginning of the escrow process not at the end which happens most of the time.
