Step 6:  Contract to Close: The Processing Period (a.k.a. Pre-Closing)

Once you've accepted an offer on your property, it becomes a "Contract". From this point there is much work to be done to process the transaction, which spans about four to six weeks. There will probably be an inspection of your home by a professional who will determine the condition and integrity of your property for the buyer. The buyer's mortgage company may choose to send out an appraiser who will assure the lender of your property's worth. The title company will warranty that there are no liens or existing encumbrances which would inhibit a transfer of title to the buyer. The buyer may request repairs to be made during this time. We will guide you through and represent your best interest in repair negotiations. Should the need arise to make repairs we can recommend the best means and/or contractors to ensure the repairs are made with quality and cost efficiency.
