PCD - PROPOSED CLOSING DATE

Our Data Checker program is set up to check for any CTS or Pending listing where the PCD has passed (by seven days) and has not either been SOLD/RENTED or the PCD adjusted to reflect some date in the future.
When you receive notification from us that the PCD on your listing has passed, please adjust the date or close the transaction out. Not doing so will result in a $10 fine for both agent and office. Sometimes, you may not know the specific date of closing, in these cases please enter your best estimate. As always, do not hesitate to contact our office if you have questions or need assistance.
