Real estate contract timeline generator
List the deadlines from the contract, by day count or exact date. Get a clean timeline to print or share, and an .ics file that puts every date on your calendar.
Contract timeline
The .ics file opens in Google Calendar, Apple Calendar and Outlook as all-day events. It's made in your browser; nothing is uploaded. Business days skip weekends and US federal holidays. Your contract's wording controls every date.
To make a real estate contract timeline, enter the acceptance date and each deadline from the contract as a number of calendar days, business days or an exact date. The generator puts them in date order, flags weekends and federal holidays, and builds a printable timeline plus an .ics calendar file with one all-day event per deadline.

Questions about the contract timeline generator
How do I add the timeline to Google Calendar?
Download the .ics file, then in Google Calendar open Settings, choose Import and export, and import the file into the calendar you want. In Apple Calendar or Outlook, opening the file adds the events.
Will the events update if a date changes?
No. An .ics file is a one-time import. If a deadline moves, change it here, download a new file and delete the old events, or keep the dates in a tool that publishes a calendar feed.
Why are the events all-day?
Most contracts set deadlines by date, and many end at a set time such as 5:00 PM or 11:59 PM. All-day events show the date without implying a time. Check your contract for the exact cutoff.
Is my deal information uploaded?
No. The timeline and the calendar file are made in your browser. If you tick Remember, the rows are saved in this browser's local storage and nowhere else.
Can Closingbird keep the timeline up to date automatically?
Yes. Closingbird builds the deal trail from the executed contract, moves dependent dates when one changes, and offers a one-way private calendar feed you can subscribe to in Google, Apple or Outlook.
