Due Diligence - Inspections and Appraisals

It is important to get a home inspection to identify any issues with the home and to determine whether there are repairs that need to be addressed prior to close. An appraisal is an estimate of the value of your home , lenders require an appraisals prior to issuing a mortgage.


Sign the Papers - Let's Celebrate

If any problems arose during due diligence we may be able to renegotiate with the seller or have them repaired before close. On closing day, you and seller will sign the papers officially sealing the deal. After this the ownership of the property will be transferred to you!
