Welcome to "The 10 Next Steps After You Go Under Contract on a Home." So, you just got a text from your Realtor saying, 'Congratulations! You’re under contract on your new home!' Now what? Today, I will walk you through the ten steps that take place once you go under contract, with a bonus step at the end. First, inform your immediate family and close friends, then connect with your Realtor, lender, inspectors, attorney or title company, insurance agent, and contractors. They’ll guide you through the next steps and help you set dates for closing and inspections. Next, deliver your earnest and due diligence money to your Realtor immediately to avoid breaching the contract. Submit necessary documents to your lender as quickly as possible to clear you to close. Schedule your closing date early, and arrange for a thorough home inspection and appraisal to ensure the property's value and condition.

After receiving inspection reports, negotiate repairs with the seller. Find reliable home insurance and set up utilities a few days before moving in. Finally, it’s time to close and move into your new home! Remember to update your address with the United States Postal Service, your workplace, and your bank, and take this opportunity to meet your new neighbors. As a bonus, consider hiring a moving company to help you move, and check with your Realtor for reliable recommendations. This covers the 10 Next Steps After You Go Under Contract on a Home.
