Once you accept an offer, several steps need to be completed before closing:
- Inspection Period – The buyer will likely schedule a home inspection. If issues arise, they may request repairs or negotiate the price. Your ZBell Real Estate Agent will guide you through this process and help with any necessary negotiations.
- Appraisal – If the buyer is financing the purchase, their lender will require an appraisal to confirm the home’s value. If the appraisal comes in lower than expected, your agent can help negotiate a resolution.
- Title & Escrow Process – A title company will conduct a title search to ensure there are no ownership disputes or unpaid liens. Escrow will handle all financial transactions to ensure a smooth closing.
- Final Walkthrough – The buyer will do a final walkthrough to ensure the home is in the agreed-upon condition.
- Closing – On closing day, you’ll sign all necessary documents, transfer ownership to the buyer, and receive the proceeds from the sale. ZBell Real Estate Agents will ensure you understand every step of the closing process and handle any last-minute details.
Selling a home involves multiple steps, but with ZBell Real Estate Agents by your side, you’ll have expert guidance from start to finish.
