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.

This Week's Activity Log
Here's a detailed breakdown of everything your team completed this week, day by day. Every item below represents real progress toward your closing.
Completed
Thursday, April 3
✅ Seller's Disclosure Receipt Signed
You signed the acknowledgment of receipt for the seller's disclosure statement. This was sent to the listing agent and saved to your file.
✅ Home Inspection Confirmed
The listing agent confirmed your home inspection for Monday, April 6. The listing team will meet the inspector at the property for access.
✅ Property Entry Instructions Obtained
Showing and entry details for the property were obtained from the listing agent for all future appointments.
Completed
Monday, April 6
✅ Seller's Disclosure Amendment Signed
You signed the amendment to the seller's disclosure, confirming the flood zone correction. As we discussed, the sellers accidentally checked the wrong box on the original form. Your home is in Flood Zone D, which is not a special flood hazard area. No special flood insurance is required.
✅ Community Association Document Extension Received
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.
📘 What are Association Documents? When you buy a home in a community with a homeowners association (HOA), the seller provides a package of documents that includes the association's rules, financials, meeting minutes, insurance information, and any upcoming assessments. You will have time to review these documents and can ask questions or raise concerns before moving forward.
Completed
Monday, April 6 — Home Inspection
Your home inspection is complete as of 8:00 PM at 91-1383 Kaileolea Dr. Here's the completed summary for today.
Inspection Completed

Next Step: Report Review
Once the full inspection report is received, Chloe will go over the findings with Jonathan and Maria and help them prepare their request form before the April 8 deadline.
📘 What Happens After the Inspection? The full report is now on its way, and once it arrives Chloe will walk you through everything that was found. She will help review the report with you, explain the findings, and prepare the request form before the April 8 deadline so you can decide on the next steps with confidence.

What's Coming Up The Next 7 Days
Here's what your team is focused on for the week ahead. Multiple important deadlines are coming up fast — your team is actively tracking and coordinating each one on your behalf.
Hard Deadline
Wednesday, April 8 — Inspection Contingency Deadline
This is one of the most important dates of the next seven days. After reviewing the inspection report with our team, you will need to make your decision by this date.
1
Review the Inspection Report
Our team will walk you through the full report and photos from Charles Burton. We will help you understand every finding and what it means for you.
2
Choose Your Path
Accept the property as-is, request credits toward closing costs through a formal amendment, or cancel the contract. We will guide you through every option.
3
Finalize Your Decision
Your decision must be submitted to the listing side before the April 8 deadline. Your team will make sure everything is in place before the clock runs out.
Hard Deadline
Wednesday, April 8 — Seller's Disclosure Approval Deadline
Your review period for the seller's disclosure expires on this date. Our team will ensure everything is signed and submitted on time.
Upcoming
Wednesday, April 8 — First Lender Check-In
Your team will conduct the first check-in with your loan officer, Marcia Murphy, to confirm that loan processing is moving forward on schedule. We want to make sure your VA loan file is progressing smoothly heading into the next phase of the transaction.
Hard Deadline
Thursday, April 9 — Disclosure Amendment Review Period Ends
Your review period for the seller's disclosure amendment — the flood zone correction — expires on this date. This confirms your home is in Flood Zone D, which is not a special flood hazard area and does not require special flood insurance.
Upcoming
Friday, April 10 — Escrow Opening Packet Expected
The escrow opening packet from First American Title is expected to arrive around this time. Once received, your team will forward it to you for completion and walk you through everything you need to fill out and return.
Hard Deadline
Saturday, April 11 — Association Documents Delivery Deadline
This is the extended deadline for the Hoakalei community association to deliver the document package. The association is actively compiling everything and it is expected to arrive before this date. Once received, you will have time to review and ask questions before your review period expires.
📘 What is the Escrow Opening Packet? The escrow opening packet is a set of documents from the escrow company (First American Title) that they need you to complete in order to process the transaction. It usually includes personal information forms, wire transfer instructions, and preliminary settlement details. Think of it as the "intake paperwork" for the closing process. We'll make sure you have everything you need and can answer any questions when it arrives.
🗓️ Your Scheduled Closing Date: May 13, 2026 This date remains tentative until we receive final loan approval from your lender. This is completely normal at this stage of the transaction, and we will keep you updated every step of the way. Your team is actively working to keep everything on track toward May 13.
