Once you accept an offer, your home sale moves into the escrow phase. This includes inspections, the appraisal process, title work, and final loan approval from the buyer’s lender. Your agent will help coordinate documents, repair negotiations, and timelines so that everything stays on track. During this time, a third-party appraiser will confirm the property value, and any contingencies in the contract will be resolved. Once cleared, you’ll move toward the final walk-through and closing appointment. This is when ownership is transferred and funds are released. Knowing what to expect after accepting an offer helps you prepare and avoid delays. It’s all part of making your home sale smooth and stress-free.
