Aloha, Jonathan & Maria!

Week two is off to a strong start. Your seller's disclosure is fully signed, the flood zone correction has been taken care of, and your home inspection is happening this afternoon. Chloe will be at the property for the full inspection and will walk you through the findings during the summary at 5:30 PM. We also received a short extension on the community association documents, which is completely normal and nothing to worry about. There is a lot of positive momentum here — we are working through every detail to make sure you are in the best position possible.

This report covers everything that happened this week, what's coming up in the next seven days, and where you stand right now on every open item. As always, your team is just a text or call away if you have questions about anything you see here.

We received a short extension on the deadline for the community association documents. The original deadline was April 5, and it has been extended to April 11. The association is putting the document package together and it is expected to arrive soon. This is completely normal — associations sometimes need a little extra time to compile everything.
