Step 4: What Happens After Your Offer's Been Accepted
Congratulations—your offer’s been accepted! That’s a huge milestone in your home-buying journey, and you’re probably already picturing where the couch will go. But before we pop the champagne and move in, there’s still work to do. The process after the offer is where details matter most, and I’m here to guide you from acceptance to keys—and beyond. Let’s break it down.
The Post-Offer Process
First up: inspections. I'll recommend and you’ll hire pros to check the home top to bottom—think plumbing, electrical, roof, and more. If they spot issues (say, a leaky pipe or shaky foundation), we’ll negotiate repairs or credits with the seller. I’ve seen inspections save buyers from costly surprises, and I’ll make sure you’re covered. This market is perfectly primed to ensure buyers don't just get the house they want, but the get it in or near the condition they want it.
Next is title. A clean title means no liens or ownership disputes—essential for your peace of mind. I work with trusted title companies to dig into the property’s history, ensuring it’s yours free and clear. The effort I have put into my network ensures that this part of your transaction is the most worry free.
Then comes closing. This is the big day: you’ll sign a stack of papers, pay closing costs (think lender fees, taxes), and finally get those keys. It’s a whirlwind, but I’ll be there with my title experts to explain every step, so you’re confident—not overwhelmed. At signing we will throw a big party to celebrate this new chapter! Every home purchase is a big event and you'll feel that in everyway at closing!
