02. Appraisal – If a buyer is getting financing, it’s inevitable that the home will be appraised. Don’t let your home appraisal take a hit! Your listing agent should prepare you with a CMA and, if it’s an option, make sure you request an appraisal gap stipulation from the buyer.

03. Buyers Mortgage Loan Approval – Typically a buyer has 35-45 days for loan approval, but this does depend on the terms accepted on an offer from the buyer. A good tip is to make sure the lender has already taken the buyer through underwriting before accepting the offer.
