Accepting an offer isn’t the finish line — here’s what the days between acceptance and closing actually look like.

Paperwork and title work begins

A title company opens a file to confirm the property can legally transfer — checking for liens, unpaid taxes, or ownership disputes that need to be cleared first.

A final walkthrough, if needed

Depending on the situation, we may do a brief visit to confirm the property’s condition matches what was discussed — this is not an inspection you need to prepare for.

Closing day

You sign the paperwork, funds are transferred, and the sale is complete. Depending on your state and title company, this can happen in person or remotely.

Most of this happens in the background — your main job is just choosing the date that works for you.
