Worst case scenario 🔥 🔥 🔥...
.
You close escrow tomorrow on your home.
.
The buyer politely asks if she can have the keys today so she can start to bring over a few personal items.
.
You give her the keys.
.
She shows up, forgets to turn off the stove after cooking a gooey grilled cheese sandwich, and the house ends up burning down.
.
Guess what!
.
Your house burned down, not hers!
.
It's not her house until tomorrow, remember.
.
She now backs out of the deal at the last second and you are now left with a pile of ashes.
.
DON'T GIVE THE KEYS TO YOUR HOME TO THE NEW BUYER UNTIL AFTER ESCROW IS OFFICIALLY CLOSED AND THE TITLE OF THE PROPERTY IS IN THE NEW BUYERS NAME. 🔥 🔥 🔥
