Can Ava read Connecticut purchase and sale agreements?

Yes! Ava reads any state's purchase agreement in real time, including Connecticut's attorney-drafted purchase and sale agreements, with no pre-setup required. She extracts all key details including binder terms, deposit amounts, contingency periods, and closing dates. Whether you're working with the CT Bar Association model form or custom attorney-drafted contracts, Ava adapts automatically.

How does Ava help with Connecticut's attorney-driven process?

Connecticut requires licensed attorneys for real estate closings under PA 19-88. Ava helps by drafting professional emails to both buyer's and seller's attorneys with transaction details, timeline updates, and coordination requests. She understands the two-step process (binder first, then attorney-drafted contract) and tracks deadlines for both phases. Ava can draft emails to attorneys but does not provide legal advice.

Does Ava track the binder and contract deposits separately?

Yes! Connecticut transactions typically involve two deposits: the initial binder deposit (usually 1% at binder acceptance) and an additional deposit at contract signing (bringing total to 10%). Ava tracks both deposits separately, including when each is due and to whom payment should be made. She creates tasks for each deposit deadline and can draft reminder emails to buyers.

Can Ava help draft emails to real estate attorneys?

Yes! Ava can draft professional emails to both buyer's and seller's attorneys with transaction details, coordinate inspection scheduling, request contract updates, and share timeline information. She turns vague prompts like 'update attorneys on inspection results' into polished emails and sends directly from your Gmail or Outlook with no AI branding. Ava remembers attorney preferences for future transactions.

How does Ava handle Connecticut's inspection contingencies?

Ava reads your Connecticut purchase agreement and tracks inspection contingency deadlines. She can help schedule inspections, create tasks for reviewing the Property Condition Disclosure Report, and draft emails about inspection findings. Connecticut's inspection periods are typically negotiated in the contract, and Ava calculates these deadlines based on your specific agreement terms.

Does Ava track the 3 banking day earnest money deposit rule?

Yes! Connecticut General Statutes Section 20-324k requires earnest money deposits to be deposited within 3 banking days. Ava understands that banking days exclude weekends and bank holidays, and calculates these deadlines accurately. She creates tasks for deposit delivery and can draft emails reminding buyers of upcoming deposit deadlines.

Can Ava manage the Property Condition Disclosure Report?

Yes! Connecticut requires sellers to provide a Property Condition Disclosure Report. Ava tracks when this disclosure is received, creates tasks for buyer review, and can draft emails to sellers requesting the disclosure if not yet received. She understands this is a required disclosure under Connecticut law and ensures it's tracked throughout the transaction.

How does Ava coordinate communication with all parties?

Ava can draft emails to buyer's attorney, seller's attorney, both agents, lenders, title companies, and clients. She recognizes repeat contacts and remembers their preferences. For Connecticut transactions, where attorney coordination is essential, Ava makes it easy to keep all parties informed with professional, consistent communications sent directly from your Gmail or Outlook.

Understanding Connecticut Real Estate Transaction Requirements

Connecticut Transaction Success Tips

Connecticut is an attorney state, meaning licensed attorneys must handle real estate closings (PA 19-88). This creates a unique two-step process: binder first, then attorney-drafted contract. Understanding this workflow and building strong relationships with real estate attorneys is essential for success in the Connecticut market.

Connecticut real estate transactions follow an attorney-driven process unique among U.S. states. The typical workflow starts with a binder (preliminary agreement), followed by a formal contract drafted by the seller's attorney.

Understanding the role of attorneys and the two-deposit structure (binder deposit plus additional earnest money) is crucial for transaction coordinators working in Connecticut markets.
