Getting an offer accepted is exciting! 🎉 But before closing day arrives, there are several important steps that help keep the purchase moving forward.

Here’s what buyers can generally expect:

💰 Earnest Money: Your deposit will typically be due within the timeframe outlined in your contract.

🔍 Home Inspection: An inspection can help you better understand the home’s condition and identify potential concerns.

🏦 Financing & Appraisal: Your lender will continue reviewing your finances and may order an appraisal to evaluate the property for lending purposes.

📋 Title & Insurance: Title work begins, and homeowners insurance will typically need to be secured before closing.

✅ Final Approval: Keep responding quickly to lender requests and avoid major financial changes while your loan is being finalized.

🚪 Final Walk-Through: Before closing, you’ll usually have one last opportunity to confirm the home is in the expected condition.

🎉 Closing Day: Once the required documents are signed and the transaction is completed, it’s time to officially become a homeowner!

There are a lot of moving pieces between an accepted offer and getting the keys. Having the right professionals guiding the process can help you stay informed and prepared every step of the way.

A home's efficiency can have a meaningful impact on monthly utility costs and everyday comfort. During a showing, keep an eye out for:

💡 Efficient appliances – Look for ENERGY STAR®-certified models where applicable.

🪟 High-performance windows – Double- or triple-pane windows and quality seals can help reduce heat transfer.

🌡️ Efficient heating and cooling – Check the age, condition, and efficiency of the HVAC system, heat pump, or other heating equipment.

🏠 Quality insulation and air sealing – Well-insulated attics, walls, and floors can help maintain indoor temperatures and reduce energy loss.

💧 Efficient water fixtures – Low-flow faucets, showerheads, and toilets can reduce water use without sacrificing everyday function.

📋 Energy performance records – Ask whether the home has an energy assessment, utility history, or other documentation that can provide a clearer picture of ongoing energy use.

A home that uses energy efficiently can mean greater comfort and potentially lower operating costs over time. When touring your next home, don't just look at the finishes. Take a closer look at how the home performs.
