Getting an offer accepted feels like the finish line, but it is really the start of the next phase.
The buyer usually moves through inspections, insurance, appraisal, title work, underwriting, final loan approval, and then closing.
The inspection helps the buyer understand the condition of the home. The appraisal helps the lender evaluate its value. They are two different things, and neither replaces the other.
My job is to keep the financing moving, explain what is happening, and make sure the numbers still work before anyone reaches the closing table.
Which part of the process would you like explained in plain English?
