PAR welcomes new addition to Preferred PARtners program

In its continuing search for emerging technologies that might serve as business builders for its members, the Pennsylvania Association of Realtors® (PAR) has engaged Closing Time as the newest addition to its family of Preferred PARtners.

A user-friendly online tool, Closing Time works by asking buyers a series of plain-English questions about their new home and how they’re paying for it — then generates a detailed yet easy-to-understand checklist of tasks to educate buyers at each stage of the closing process. As a result, buyers close with far less stress and agents spend less time managing logistics.

PAR members who sign up for the free service retain full control, getting daily notifications of what their buyer is up to as well as the ability to see, edit, and change the buyer’s plan at any time. A customized, branded version of Closing Time is available to brokerages for a discounted price negotiated by PAR.

A recent Closing Time survey revealed that 85 percent of buyers using the system said they’d be more likely to recommend their Realtor® to a friend because of the concierge experience they enjoyed.
