Getting an offer accepted is exciting! 🎉 But before closing day arrives, there are several important steps that help keep the purchase moving forward.

Here’s what buyers can generally expect:

💰 Earnest Money: Your deposit will typically be due within the timeframe outlined in your contract.

🔍 Home Inspection: An inspection can help you better understand the home’s condition and identify potential concerns.

🏦 Financing & Appraisal: Your lender will continue reviewing your finances and may order an appraisal to evaluate the property for lending purposes.

📋 Title & Insurance: Title work begins, and homeowners insurance will typically need to be secured before closing.

Utility Companies: Call the utility companies to set up new accounts for your new home or switch out the address for existing accounts with the closing date as your effective date.

✅ Final Approval: Keep responding quickly to lender requests and avoid major financial changes while your loan is being finalized.

🚪 Final Walk-Through: Before closing, you’ll usually have one last opportunity to confirm the home is in the expected condition.

🎉 Closing Day: Once the required documents are signed and the transaction is completed, it’s time to officially become a homeowner!

There are a lot of moving pieces between an accepted offer and getting the keys. Having the right professionals guiding the process can help you stay informed and prepared every step of the way.
