12 Steps to Take After Securing a Contract on a Home [INFOGRAPHIC]

After your efforts preparing to buy a home, interviewing REALTORS®, perusing homes online, touring homes in person, writing an offer (or two) on homes, your offer to purchase the home that is just right for you has been accepted by the seller and you are now officially under contract. Oftentimes, homebuyers are faced with the question of: What do I do next?

There are some important steps you need to take from the time you secure the contract to purchase to the time you sign the closing statements and are handed the key to your new home in the Mid Missouri area. When working with our full-service team, you will be guided through every step of the process by both your Buyer Specialist and your dedicated Transaction Coordinator. Even with this guidance, it is always helpful to know what to expect during the contract-to-close period so you can be prepared for what may be expected of you. Let’s take a look!

Staying on top of each of these steps will help to ensure that the purchasing process flows smoothly. Also, working with an experienced real estate agent or team as well as a trusted, local lender is the best way to ensure that the contract-to-close period moves along without unnecessary hiccups.
