Selling Your Home Just Got Easier
Inspections & Appraisals
After your home goes under contract, the buyer will typically complete their due diligence period. This often includes a professional home inspection to evaluate the condition of the property and verify that it meets their expectations. Depending on the buyer's preferences, additional inspections may be conducted for specific systems such as roofing, plumbing, HVAC, or structural components.
If the buyer is obtaining financing, the lender will usually require an appraisal. A licensed appraiser will evaluate the property and compare it to similar homes in the area to determine its market value. This step helps ensure the property's value supports the agreed-upon purchase price and satisfies lender requirements.
Title and Closing ServicesA title company or closing attorney will oversee the closing process and help ensure the property's ownership can be transferred without issue. As part of their review, they will examine the property's history, identify any title concerns, and verify that any liens, mortgages, or other encumbrances are properly addressed prior to closing.
The closing agent also coordinates the transfer of funds, prepares final closing documents, and works with all parties involved to ensure a smooth and successful transaction. Their role is to help protect both the buyer and seller while guiding the transaction through to closing day.

What else you should know...
Buyer ContingenciesMost real estate contracts include contingencies that must be satisfied before the sale can move forward. Common contingencies include financing approval, property inspections, title review, insurance requirements, and the buyer's overall due diligence process.
During this period, buyers may review important property documents, verify financing, obtain insurance, and conduct inspections to evaluate the condition of the home. Depending on the property, additional inspections may be requested for roofing, HVAC systems, pest activity, plumbing, structural components, or other specialized areas.
If concerns are identified during the contingency period, the buyer may request repairs, credits, or other adjustments to the terms of the agreement. Having an experienced listing agent on your side is invaluable during these negotiations. Our team helps sellers evaluate requests, navigate discussions professionally, and protect their interests while keeping the transaction moving forward.
Financing and AppraisalA buyer's ability to secure financing is one of the most important factors in a successful sale. That's why we encourage sellers to consider offers from buyers who have obtained a mortgage pre-approval or lender commitment whenever possible.
If financing is involved, the buyer's lender will typically require a professional appraisal to confirm the property's market value. The appraiser will evaluate the home and compare it to similar recent sales in the area to ensure the purchase price is supported by current market conditions.
Throughout the process, Copper Key Realty & Management works closely with all parties involved to help ensure deadlines are met and the transaction stays on track toward a successful closing.
