What Happens After Your Offer Is Accepted?

Congratulations, the seller accepted your offer. Here's what to expect between acceptance and getting your keys.

1. Open Escrow and Deposit Earnest Money

You'll open escrow with a neutral third party and deposit your earnest money, which shows your good-faith commitment to the purchase.

2. Home Inspection

You'll schedule inspections to understand the home's condition. If issues come up, you can request repairs or credits, or in some cases renegotiate.

3. Appraisal and Loan Underwriting

Your lender orders an appraisal to confirm the home's value and completes underwriting to finalize your loan.

4. Final Walkthrough and Signing

Before closing, you'll do a final walkthrough, then sign your loan and closing documents. Once funds record, the home is officially yours.
