The Sellers:

• Submit all other required paperwork as outlined in the Purchase Agreement, such as insurance policies, home warranties, tax receipts, etc. (The settlement agent will provide clear instructions on what is needed.)
The Buyers:

• Approve inspection reports, preliminary title reports, and other items detailed in the Purchase Agreement.
