I recently bought a house in California and had to endure a pretty un-organized, stressful, unclear and unknown 30 day journey to get there. I kept asking all of the involved parties for a clear roadmap, checklist, etc but none seem to have a good one that covered the process end to end so I figure I would put one together now that I am done with the process.

I plan on updating and adding more to this soon but am looking for early feedback on the set up of the site, navigation, clarity, etc.

Any early feedback would be great!

In checklist mode, yellow text on white background is hard to read.

^ Agreed. Damn near impossible if you are old and have eyesight issues.

Related: The link on the landing page above to "checklist" in the sentence saying you can check out the checklist version does not show as a link. I had to move my cursor across it and look for the hover mode to appear indicating something was clickable.
