An accepted offer is a milestone, but several steps follow before keys change hands. The clock starts with the contract period. You’ll typically complete inspections early, reviewing findings and negotiating any repairs or credits. In parallel, your lender orders an appraisal to confirm value for financing.
Next comes underwriting, where your financials are verified and conditions are cleared. During this time, you’ll avoid major purchases or job changes to keep your approval on track. Title work and escrow progress in the background, ensuring clear ownership and accurate closing figures.
As closing approaches, you’ll secure homeowners insurance, review final disclosures and conduct a last walk-through to confirm the home’s condition. Then you sign documents, funds are transferred and ownership records.
Each market has nuances and timelines. As your Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices agent, we coordinate these steps, keep deadlines moving and anticipate hurdles so you can move from accepted offer to closing with confidence.
