Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, this press release includes references to Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. We view Adjusted EBITDA as an operating performance measure and, as such, we believe that the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to it is net income (loss). We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income excluding interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and stock based compensation. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides us an important measure of operating performance and enhances comparability while providing investors with useful insight into the underlying trends of the business. Our use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and this measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP, as the excluded items may have significant effects on our operating results and financial condition. Additionally, our measure of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from other companies’ measure of Adjusted EBITDA. When evaluating our performance, Adjusted EBITDA should be considered with other financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net income and other GAAP results. In the future, we may disclose different non-GAAP financial measures in order to help our investors and others more meaningfully evaluate and compare our future results of operations to our previously reported results of operations.

Closing Day is almost here!  Whoo hoo!!

Your attorney will attend the closing on your behalf and make sure everything goes smoothly.  Afterwards, your attorney will email us both a copy of the Master Statement/Closing Statement showing the exact breakdown of the closing cost charges.  The attorney will arrange for the balance of your loan to be paid off with the proceeds from closing.  If you are receiving additional money back from closing once your loan has been paid off in full, the title company will either wire transfer those funds to you or you can stop by the attorney's office to pick up your closing check.  And that’s it! Congratulations on a successful sale.  Thank you for trusting us to sell your home!

The final walk through usually occurs the night before closing or the morning of closing and is a chance for the buyer and the buyer’s Realtor to walk through the property and make sure it’s in the same condition as it was during the inspection.  Generally the walk through takes about 15 minutes and we can attend in case any problems come up. It’s best if you are completely moved out and the home has been thoroughly cleaned by the time the walk through occurs.

Here’s what the final walk through is:

• A second chance for the buyer to make sure all of the appliances are still working
• An opportunity to make sure you didn’t damage anything while moving out 
• A time to make sure the property is clean
• When we explain to the buyer what day the trash is picked up, where the parking is, etc.
• We will do the same thing for the house that you purchase next.
  
  We want to make sure you see both sides of the coin.  If we walk into the house you are buying and there is damage to the drywall the washer is missing, there are garbage bags multiple rooms and one cabinet still has dishes in it....Guess what? All that is yours at closing legally and there isn't much we can do  about it.  We want to ensure you are buying a house in the same condition as when you made the offer and that all the items that are to be left per the contract are in the home.

Here is what the final walk through IS NOT:

• It’s not a time to have the buyer’s parents, friends, etc. come look at the property or for contractors give them estimates, etc.  All of that can wait until the next day once they’ve officially bought the property.  
• It’s not a time for the buyer to begin moving boxes or other items in to the property. That has to wait until after closing.
• It’s not when the buyer receives the keys.  Instead, at the end of the walk through we will give the buyer’s Realtor the keys and garage door opener and the buyer’s Realtor will give those items to the buyer at the end of closing.

Please let us know if you have any questions regarding the final walk through.  We’re almost there!

A few days before the closing date, the buyer should get the "Clear to Close" from his or her mortgage lender.  This means the buyer’s mortgage has been approved and the attorneys can schedule the closing date.

Once a closing date, time and location have been scheduled by the attorneys, the buyer’s Realtor will schedule the final walk through of the property.  This usually takes place the day before closing and is a chance to make sure the property is still in the same condition it was  during the inspection and that we have fixed any agreed upon repairs.  In addition, in Illinois, all attached items such as shelving, light fixtures, curtain rods, etc. are required to stay and transfer with the property so the buyer checks that those items are still there as well.  Once the closing has been scheduled, you should reach out to your attorney and arrange a time to pre-sign the documents.
