Phase Six · Contract to keys
You have accepted an offer. Now the work shifts to protecting your position and getting cleanly to the finish line — escrow, inspections, the appraisal, and closing day. We guide every step.
Once you are under contract, escrow opens and the clock starts on a series of deadlines. We introduce you to your escrow officer, walk you through the timeline and the critical dates, and make sure your disclosures are handled promptly. We stay ahead of the paperwork so you are never scrambling to meet a date.
The buyer will inspect the home, and they may come back with requests. We help you separate what truly matters from what does not — safety versus cosmetic, contractual versus optional — and coach you through your choices: repair, offer a credit, decline, or meet in the middle.
If the buyer is financing, the home will be appraised. We prepare for it — the home presented well, recent comparable sales in hand — and we keep in touch with the lender on the loan milestones. If the appraisal comes in low, we walk you through every option rather than letting it derail the sale.
Before closing, the buyer does a final walkthrough. We make sure any agreed repairs are done and documented, confirm the details, and prepare you for signing day. Then we celebrate — because you made it. And our relationship does not end at the closing table; we are your resource in the East Valley for as long as you want one.
