Without knowing the list of repairs, it is hard to recommend. I would say take care of the health and safety repairs first. The inspector should mention which items you should address now and what items can repair later.

You can reach out to a local realtor to give you an estimate. For a more accurate estimate, a realtor will have to know the condition of the property and see the layout of your home. Reach out to FastExpert, so FastExpert can connect you to an experienced realtor.

Title company need wet signatures. You can still close while on vacation. Title company can send you a mobile notary to sign with you. If you out of the country, you will need to go US Embassy to sign in front of a notary. Plan ahead, tell your agent and title company. Congrats!
