What do you do about your deadlines in an Agreement of Sale?

It is best to address all of them immediately.

Most people will need to do the following:

• Make a mortgage application
• Make sure the property is insurable
• Schedule inspections
• Make a second deposit
• Perhaps, review leases or condominium documents
  

None of these items are based on one another. All of their contingency periods run simultaneously. Thus, a second deposit is not based on the result of the home inspection, etc.. Generally, it is due earlier. Thus, make sure your Realtor gives you a list of deadlines and begin making the phone calls as soon as you have the contract in your hand. You want to make sure you meet all deadlines and protect your deposit and not accidentally default.
