Offers
I will be your guide in looking through all presented OFFERS. There are many things to consider and price is just one of them. I will help you decide which one best accommodates your needs and timeline.
Negotiating
One of the top reasons to hire a licensed broker is for the next step: NEGOTIATING. I am aware of market trends in our area and can help negotiate the best offer for your home based on the current market and your needs.
Inspections
Once the offer is accepted it is time for INSPECTIONS. These will take place within the first 2-10 days after an offer is accepted, or during the due diligence period. The buyer will pay an inspector to look through the entire property and list all things the home could need. Big and small things will be on the list. The report will be sent to the buyers for review with their agent. Buyers may or may not try to negotiate items for repair on the list. Once all parties have an agreement, we move on to the next step: APPRAISAL.
Appraisal
If the buyer is utilizing a loan, then an APPRAISAL will be ordered by the loan officer. These are often chosen at random from a pool of appraisers. The goal is to have the appraisal come in at or above the purchase price of the contract so the mortgage lender will approve the loan. It is important the home be in tip top shape at the time of the appraisal.
Title & Utilities
The TITLE company will make sure the home title is clean for the closing. This means they will look over all paperwork to be sure there are no liens on the property, no extra names on the title, and prepare for closing. They will work with the lender to ensure everything is ready for closing day.
You will want to schedule the transfer and/or shut off all UTILITIES for closing day or the day after. This should be set-up at least 2 weeks prior to closing.
Final Walk-Through
The buyers will do their FINAL WALK-THROUGH up to 4 days prior to closing. This is to make sure all negotiated items have been completed, that the home is clean, and all is as it should be.
Closing
Congratulations, you have made it to closing day! CLOSING is when the necessary paperwork to complete the transaction is signed. The papers are signed at the real estate attorney’s office and the title is transferred from the seller to the buyer. Once funded, the buyer receives the keys, and the seller receives payment for the home.

OPEN UP POSSIBILITIES FOR OTHERS
THERE’S STRENGTH IN NUMBERS. Never has that been truer than when coming together in the real estate community to combat homelessness.
THE HOMEOWNERS IMPACT FUND, a designated 501(c)3 nonprofit, invites participants who are in the home closing process to make a small donation that adds up to a substantial gift to local organizations working to lift men, women and children out of homelessness. Because when you harness the power of community, you can weather any storm.
HOW IT WORKS
If you’re fortunate enough to have a roof over your head, please consider supporting the Homeowners Impact Fund to help others in need. Funds raised are distributed directly to reputable nonprofit organizations that support individuals and families in finding a path out of homelessness.
Every day, you experience the joy of a place to call home. Every day, more than 3,000 people in the Charlotte area experience homelessness. Every day, more than 580,000 people across the US experience homelessness. Together, we can make a difference.
