1. Offer Accepted

The seller has officially agreed to your offer.

What happens now:

  • Both parties sign the Purchase Agreement.

  • A closing date is set (typically within 30–45 days).

💡 Stay alert — things move fast from here!


🏡 2. Home Inspection

This is your chance to inspect the property thoroughly.

What’s involved:

  • A certified inspector checks the home’s structure, roof, HVAC, plumbing, electrical systems, and more.

  • You’ll receive a detailed report.

🛠️ If major issues are found, you may renegotiate or request repairs.


💰 3. Appraisal

The lender needs to confirm the home’s market value.

How it works:

  • An independent appraiser visits the property.

  • A report is issued with the home’s appraised value.

  • The loan is based on this value — not necessarily the price you agreed to pay.


📂 4. Underwriting

This is the final loan review — and we’ll handle most of it for you.

During underwriting:

  • The bank reviews your full documentation and the property details.

  • They assess your credit, income, assets, and overall risk.

  • Additional documents may be requested.

🚫 Avoid new credit cards, big purchases, or moving large sums of money during this time.


5. CTC – Clear to Close

This means your loan has been fully approved!

What it means:

  • You’re officially cleared to close.

  • A closing date is confirmed.

  • All final documents are prepared for signing.

🎯 You’re almost there!
