The paperwork,
without the guesswork.

The paperwork Havenline provides

• A purchase-agreement template appropriate to your state.
• State-specific seller disclosure forms. Most states require disclosure of known material defects; the exact form and requirements vary by state, and your local office supplies the right ones.
• The federal lead-based-paint disclosure, required for most homes built before 1978.
• Transaction paperwork and help keeping the file organized through to closing.

Havenline supplies and helps you fill in these forms. It does not interpret a clause, tell you what to disclose beyond what the form asks, or advise whether to accept an offer — those are legal questions.

Offers

Offers arrive in your Seller Dashboard with the buyer’s price, conditions (financing, inspection, appraisal, timeline), and proposed closing date. You accept, reject, or counter using the purchase-agreement forms. Questions about what a condition means, what to counter, or how a contingency works go to a real estate attorney or your title/escrow company.

Inspection and appraisal

A typical US sale includes two checks to expect:

• Home inspection. The buyer usually hires an inspector to examine the home’s condition, often within a contingency window in the contract.
• Lender’s appraisal. If the buyer is financing, their mortgage lender orders an appraisal to confirm the home’s value for the loan — separate from the Havenline pricing report.

Closing

Once an offer is accepted, the transaction moves to closing, handled by a title/escrow company in most states, or a real estate attorney in states that use one:

• A title search confirms clear ownership, and title insurance is usually issued.
• Escrow holds the buyer’s earnest money and the funds, and disburses them at closing.
• The deed is transferred and recorded, and any existing mortgage is paid off and released.

Closing costs are separate from the Havenline package price — title and escrow fees, transfer or recording taxes, the lender’s appraisal, the inspection, and any attorney fees are billed on their own, exactly as they would be in an agent-led sale.

What Havenline does not do here

• Interpret a contract clause, a contingency, or a condition.
• Advise whether to accept, reject, or counter an offer, or at what number.
• Estimate closing costs, transfer taxes, or any other statutory cost.
• Advise on what you are legally required to disclose.

All of it goes to a real estate attorney, your title/escrow company, or your local office — because Havenline does not represent you in the transaction, there is no basis on which it could give this advice.
