If the buyer is taking over advance rental bookings from the previous owner he has the responsibility of making immediate contact with each renter to explain what is happening, and of making sure that each rental, including any that are in place at the date of closing, is managed professionally.

The buyer will receive a packge of documents after closing, including the title insurance policy. The other particularly important piece of paper, the recorded title deed, will be mailed a few weeks later, as it takes some time for the deed to be recorded by the county or city as appropriate and then copied back to the title company.

If either the seller or the buyer has any concerns that there may be an unresolved issue after closing they should initially ask their real estate agent to look into it. He or she in turn will communicate with the title company or any other agency as necessary.
