Once an offer is executed, the transaction enters the contract phase.

Key milestones typically include:

  • Earnest money delivery

  • Option fee delivery

  • Inspection scheduling

  • Title commitment review

  • Appraisal (if financing)

  • Loan underwriting

The first 10 days are usually the most active.

Clear communication and prompt documentation keep the process smooth.

Execution after acceptance is just as important as negotiation before it.
