If they would then after reading my contract like to set up a time I’m usually pretty flexible in letting them pick a night after closing to drop by with their child so we can chat more and then I just highlight important parts of the contract that they’ve already read that I feel are most important.
Yeah, I try to weed out by phone or email too. I like the idea of sending them your contract to read over first. I think I might start doing that as well.
