How do I keep a home sale organized?
Papers in a folder, dates in your phone, messages across three inboxes. Here is the method, and then the room that does it for you.
Or let a Keighbor room do the filing for you, from the day you start.

The method, free. The room does the filing.
The short answer
A home sale produces six kinds of information: steps, documents, dates, numbers, people, and messages. A folder and calendar can help. A home-selling organizer keeps those pieces together, with the steps written out and an available next step shown at the top. You or the people you invite add and confirm the dates.
What is Keighbor, in one sentence?

The six piles
The steps
There are 85 of them across 18 milestones, in a fixed order. Write them down once so you never have to hold them in your head.
The checklist →The documents
Disclosures, the listing agreement, the purchase agreement, inspection reports, the title work, the closing statement. Filed once, findable in seconds.
What paperwork you'll need →The dates
The inspection window, the appraisal, the loan deadline, the walk-through, closing day. Every one comes out of the contract, and every one is yours to miss.
The timeline →The numbers
Your price, the comps behind it, your estimated sale proceeds, and the payoff. Written down, so you decide once instead of re-deciding at midnight.
The calculator →The people
Your agent if you have one, the buyer's agent, the lender, the title company, the inspector. Who they are, what they've sent, what they're waiting on.
Comparing agents →The messages
Half the sale happens by email. Give it one address, and answer from the same place you keep everything else.
How the room does it →Where are all my documents
Uploaded once, found in seconds
Drop a file anywhere in the room and it lands in Documents. Forward an email to your sale's own address and the attachment files itself. Signed things stay signed, with a record of who and when.
