Congratulations on having your offer accepted on a home! Here are the next steps you'll need to take:
Get a home inspection: A home inspection is a crucial step in the homebuying process. It will help you identify any potential issues with the home that you may not have noticed during your initial visits. Your real estate agent can help you find a qualified inspector.
Review the inspection report: Once the inspection is complete, you will receive a detailed report outlining any issues that were found. Review the report carefully and discuss any concerns you may have with your agent.
Negotiate repairs: If there are issues with the home that need to be addressed, you may be able to negotiate with the seller to have them repaired before the sale is final.
Obtain a home appraisal: Your lender will require a home appraisal to ensure that the home is worth the amount you are borrowing. Your real estate agent can help you find a qualified appraiser.
Finalize your mortgage: Once your offer has been accepted, you'll need to work with your lender to finalize your mortgage. This will involve submitting additional documentation and meeting any additional requirements from your lender.
Your real estate agent can help guide you through each of these steps and ensure that everything is completed in a timely and efficient manner. Good luck with your new home!
