Closing the Sale: What Sellers Need to Know About the Final Steps

Once you’ve accepted an offer, there are still a few important steps before closing.

​

1. Home Inspection and Appraisal 

The buyer will likely schedule an inspection. If any issues arise, we may need to negotiate repairs or credits. The lender will also require an appraisal to confirm the home’s value.

 

2. Finalizing Paperwork and Disclosures

You’ll need to complete required disclosures and work with the title company to ensure a smooth closing.​

3. Preparing for Move Out

​

​You will need to be moved out at the time of closing. Ensure the house is in the same or better condition than when the new buyers viewed it. Once closing papers are signed and the keys are handed to the new buyers the property and any items still there belong to them.

 

4. Closing Day

 

At closing, final documents are signed, and you’ll receive your proceeds from the sale.
