Contract to Closing
01. Inspection Period – Before putting your home on the market, it’s essential to address any necessary repairs. A little bit of prep work can go a long way in making sure your home inspection goes smoothly and helps you sell your home with ease.
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.
04. Closing – Embrace the bittersweet nature of closing day. Celebrate the accomplishment, reflect on your memories, and look forward to what’s next. Selling your home can be an easy process if you’re prepared and willing to put in the time and effort. With the right preparation and approach, you’ll be able to find a buyer quickly and move on to your next adventure.
