question about sellers moving out
if we close on wednesday and the sellers cant move out until saturday, how does it work out that they pay you for each additional day?
I cant understand how they will come up with a dollar figure for that.
also, if they are there longer, how would we get the keys?

Re: question about sellers moving out
Usually it is worked out between the lawyers how much is paid. It should be in the contract. Also, the old owners usually have to leave $$ in escrow because you'll have already done your walkthrough and they may break something or take something with them. That is what happened to us. Our lawyer held $2500 in escrow of theirs until we got the keys and when we went in they had taken all the toilet paper holders, towel bars and front door knob! So we got to keep some of their $$ to replace those items.
I'm not sure what happens if they don't leave....

Saturday would be called the day you take possession. Like mentioned above, some money would be left in escrow. On Saturday, you would do a final walk through with the old owner (just to make sure they didn't trash the place). At that time, they would give you the key and you can tell your lawyer they can release the remaining money in escrow. When we bought our condo, the old owners stayed in there for an additional month and we charged $75 for rent. When we sold the condo, we stayed in for 4-5 days. On the day of possession is also when you start to pick up all the bills - electric, etc. It's pretty common not to take possession the same day, since the seller usually has to go and close on their new home.
