The inspection report just landed. You have twelve days.

The repair window — inspection report to closing table — is where Chattanooga transactions actually die. CloseReady is the resource built for exactly that window: independently verified contractors, published answers to the questions your clients ask at 9 PM, and planning cost ranges you can send tonight. Free to use. No signup to browse.

Not just a list of names. A knowledge base for the repair window.

Every trade page on CloseReady publishes the questions buyers and sellers actually ask when a repair addendum lands — what will this cost, who is qualified to fix it, how fast can it happen, and what letter or sign-off the closing will require. Each category carries typical planning cost ranges, so the first number your client hears comes from a published range instead of from you. One link answers the 9 PM phone call — and gets your evening back.

And the directory behind it is built to be sendable: three verified seats per trade for the entire tri-state — license and insurance checked on the state portals, no pay-to-play, no lead-selling, and a seat that gets pulled if credentials lapse. Short enough to trust. Vetted enough to hand to a client.

When the addendum lands, here’s the play

Send your client the trade page. They read the published questions and the planning range before they panic-dial anybody. They call a verified contractor who works inside closing windows, understands repair addenda, and knows exactly what letter or sign-off your file needs. The repair gets done, the documentation lands in the file, and your closing date holds.

You never vouched for anyone. You pointed at a published standard — and got back to the rest of your pipeline.

Refer without the risk

Recommend a contractor personally and you own the outcome. Registered agents point clients to an independently verified directory instead — and your listing documents, publicly and permanently, that you have no financial stake and endorse no one. When a client asks “why this list?”, your answer is a URL. You’re not vouching for a name; you’re pointing to a published standard.

On the record, before the market follows

The Deadline Ready Agent Registry is the public roster of Chattanooga agents who work the repair window to a published standard. “Deadline Ready” says something specific in a market full of generic promises: when the repair addendum lands, you don’t scramble — you work to a standard, and it’s one more reason a seller picks you, aimed at the exact moment they fear most.

Your listing carries your license, brokerage, and market areas in structured, machine-readable format — the format AI assistants can actually read and cite when your clients check advice against them. Most agent websites aren’t built that way. Your registry listing is.

The founding roster is being seated now. Agents who register during the founding window carry the founding-cohort label on their listing — a dated, permanent marker that you were on the record before the market followed. When the window closes, that label is never issued again.

What this costs you: nothing. Ever.

No fee. No commission. No lead-selling. No client capture. No paid placement. The attestation you sign at registration says exactly that — in both directions. The platform is funded by its verified contractors — professionals who pay to be held to a standard, not to buy placement.

How it works

1 · Register. Two minutes: license, brokerage, market areas, headshot.
2 · We review. Every listing is checked before it publishes — that’s what keeps the roster worth being on.
3 · You’re on the record. A public, machine-readable listing — yours for as long as the standard holds.

Registered agents recognize the CloseReady verification standard. Registration is free of charge and involves no compensation in either direction. CloseReady does not endorse or recommend agents, and registered agents do not endorse or recommend individual contractors.
