Navigating Escrow, Inspections, & Appraisals

---

Inspections: 

Buyers typically arrange property inspections within the agreed timeframe. This might involve various specialists to assess specific areas like the roof or HVAC system. If financing is involved, a licensed appraiser evaluates the property's value for the lender's confirmation.

Closing Agent: 

A title company or attorney acts as the closing agent, ensuring clear property title and handling encumbrances. They certify that your title is free of restrictions and all encumbrances are accounted for.

Contingencies: 

Buyers often include contingencies in the contract, such as satisfactory inspection reports. They review documents, obtain financing and insurance, and inspect the property thoroughly. Depending on the outcome, contingencies are either removed or renegotiated.

Responding to Renegotiations:

When buyers request changes, a skilled listing agent can help you navigate negotiations while protecting your interests. Drawing on our experience, we ensure fairness and professionalism in every transaction.

Loan Approval and Appraisal:

Prefer buyers with lender pre-approval or a written loan commitment for greater assurance. Expect an appraiser to verify the property's value aligns with the sales price as part of the loan approval process.

With our guidance, you can confidently navigate these crucial stages, ensuring a smooth and successful real estate transaction.
