Offers & Negotiation

What happens after the seller accepts my offer?

You go 'under contract.' Then comes the earnest deposit, inspection, your loan application and appraisal, title work, and finally closing — usually about 30–45 days when financing. I'll guide each step and watch every deadline.

Congratulations — you're now 'under contract,' and a clear sequence begins. You'll deliver your earnest-money deposit, schedule the home inspection, and formally move your loan forward so the lender can order the appraisal.

Meanwhile, the title company checks that the title is clear, you'll line up homeowners insurance, and you'll do a final walkthrough before closing day. With financing, this usually takes about 30 to 45 days. There are several deadlines along the way, and staying on top of them is a big part of my job — I'll keep you informed and on track the whole way.
