At Wright-Patt Realty, our real estate agents know that a signed purchase agreement kicks off your home-buying adventure in Beavercreek. Our committed team stands ready to walk you through each phase of the process, making sure you move from contract to closing.

• Getting Ready for Home Inspection
  Your home inspection plays a key role after you sign the purchase agreement. Book this within your option period, which lasts 7-10 days. Make a list of specific issues you want the inspector to look at. This detailed check will give you insight into the property's state and point out any possible problems that might need fixing.
  
  
• Securing Your Financing
  It's time to nail down your mortgage details with the lender you've picked. Hand in all the paperwork they ask for right away, like pay stubs, tax returns, and bank statements. Your loan officer will help you lock in your interest rate and make sure all the needed paperwork is handled before closing.
  
  
• Title Search and Insurance
  The title company will perform a thorough check of the property's past to make sure no liens or claims exist against it. They'll also offer title insurance to safeguard your investment from any claims in the future. This process happens at the same time as other tasks and needs little input from you, but it plays a key role in protecting your interests.
  
  
• Property Appraisal Process
  Your lender will request an appraisal to verify the property's value matches what you're paying. Be ready for different outcomes—if the appraisal comes in low, you might need to talk again with the seller or change your financing. This step often takes place within two weeks of signing the purchase agreement.
  
  
• Addressing Inspection Findings
  Go through the inspection report with your agent and figure out which items need to be addressed. Your agent will negotiate repairs or credits with the seller's team. Keep in mind to focus on safety issues and major systems while being flexible about cosmetic problems.
  
  
• Final Walkthrough Planning
  Plan your final walkthrough as near to closing as you can, but make sure you have enough time to deal with any last-minute issues. This is your chance to check that agreed-upon repairs have been done and the property's condition is the same as when you last saw it.
  
  
• Understanding Closing Costs
  Take a close look at your closing disclosure when it shows up three days before you close. This paper lists all the costs tied to your purchase, like lender fees, title insurance, and items you pay for upfront. Check it against your loan estimate and ask about anything that doesn't match up.
  
  
• Getting Ready for Closing Day
  Collect all the papers you need, including your ID and proof of insurance. Work with your agent to nail down the final closing place and time. Don't forget to set up utility switches and plan your move. These steps will help make your closing go smoothly.
  
  
• After You Close
  Start planning your move long before you close on your new home. Make a detailed schedule to update your address, switch over utilities, and book movers. Your agent can suggest trusted local companies to help you with your move.
