✍️ Step 5: Review Offers & Negotiate
When offers start coming in, your agent will help you evaluate each one carefully.
It’s not just about price—consider:
- Financing strength of the buyer
- Contingencies (inspection, appraisal, sale of another home)
- Closing timeline
- Earnest money
Your agent will negotiate on your behalf to secure the best combination of price and terms.
🔎 Step 6: Inspection, Appraisal & Final Details
Once you accept an offer, the buyer will complete their due diligence.
- Inspection — The buyer may request repairs or credits based on findings
- Appraisal — The lender confirms the home’s value matches the purchase price
- Final negotiations — You may revisit terms based on inspection or appraisal outcomes
This phase is normal—and having a steady, experienced agent keeps everything moving forward.
🔑 Step 7: Closing Day
This is where everything comes together.
At closing, you’ll:
- Sign final documents
- Transfer ownership to the buyer
- Receive your proceeds from the sale
It’s the final step in your selling journey—and the start of whatever comes next.
