Inspections & Appraisals
Most buyers will have the property examined by a licensed property inspector.
The Buyer's Property Inspection
Most buyers will order a licensed property inspection to verify the condition described in the contract. Inspection timelines are defined in the Purchase Agreement. Buyers may also arrange specialty inspections (roof, plumbing, HVAC, etc.) as needed.
If the buyer is financing the purchase, the lender will typically order an independent appraisal to confirm the property value supports the loan amount. Because financing is often a contingency, the appraisal plays a critical role in finalizing the sale.
The Closing Agent
A title company or attorney acting as closing agent will review the recorded history of the property and certify that title is clear of encumbrances (leases, mortgages, or other restrictions) by closing so ownership can transfer.

What else you should know...
Contingencies
Contingencies are conditions that must be satisfied before a contract becomes final—common examples include home inspections and loan approval. Buyers will complete steps such as:
- Securing financing and insurance
- Reviewing preliminary title reports and disclosure documents
- Inspecting the property (roof, termites/pests, chimney, boundaries, well/septic, pool/spa, mold, lead paint, HVAC, etc.)
When renegotiation is requested, an experienced listing agent helps you respond objectively and protect your interests.
Loan Approval and Appraisal
Prefer buyers with lender pre-approval or written loan commitment over pre-qualification or no documentation. Expect a lender-ordered appraiser to verify the sale price relative to market value.

Tips For Selling Your Home
Give Your House a Deep Clean
First impressions matter. Before listing, perform a thorough clean—bathrooms, floors, rugs, and all surfaces. Professional cleaning can be a worthwhile investment.
Declutter The Home
A clutter-free home lets buyers focus on the property’s features and imagine their belongings in the space. Organize counters, closets, and living areas to enhance visual appeal.
Call a Handyman
Complete visible repairs before listing. Buyers gain confidence when a home is well-maintained, which can streamline negotiations.
