Offer & Escrow
We structure your offer correctly and coordinate with your agent.

Appraisal & Final Approval
The home is appraised, and underwriting reviews the file. We stay in communication to keep everything moving toward final approval.

Closing & Keys
We review the final numbers, sign the closing documents, and coordinate with escrow. Once everything records, the keys are yours.
