12 Steps to Take After Securing a Contract on a Home [INFOGRAPHIC]

Your offer to purchase the perfect home has been accepted by the seller and you are now officially under contract (yay!!). Many homebuyers now have the question: What do I do next? There are some crucial steps you need to take from the time you secure the contract to purchase to the time you sign the papers and walk through the door of your new home in the St. Louis area. If you are a client of our full-service team, you will enjoy the added convenience of working with a Transaction Coordinator, who will guide you through every step of this process. However, it is always important to know what to expect during this period so you can be prepared and help the process go as smoothly as possible. Let’s take a look!

It is important that you stay on top of each of these steps to ensure that the purchasing process flows smoothly. Working with an experienced real estate agent or team as well as a trusted lender is the best way to ensure that you are kept in the loop and the contract-to-close period moves along as it should.
