From accepted offer to closing, managed

What happens after "yes"

Accepting an offer starts a clock. In North Carolina, the buyer's due diligence period opens — their window to inspect, appraise, and secure financing. Each of those steps has its own deadline, and a missed one can cost you the deal or your leverage.

The moving parts I stay on top of

• Inspections. The buyer's inspection and any repair or credit negotiation that follows.
• Appraisal. Making sure the home appraises, and handling it if it doesn't.
• The buyer's financing. Watching that their loan is actually progressing, not stalling.
• The attorney. North Carolina closings run through a real estate attorney who handles title and the closing itself.

To the closing table

Near the end, the buyer does a final walkthrough, the attorney prepares the closing, and you sign. Then the funds disburse and it's done. My job through all of it is to keep the pieces moving and the deadlines met so the sale closes cleanly — with you getting updates from me, not from a coordinator you've never spoken to.

You sell once in a while — I do this constantly

Most people sell a home a handful of times in their life. I'm in these transactions week in and week out, which means I see the problems coming before they blow up the deal. That's the point of hiring someone: not the sign in the yard, but everything that has to go right after the offer.
