🧾 What Happens at This Stage?

Once repairs (if any) are settled, the buyer’s lender will order an appraisal to confirm the home’s value matches or exceeds the purchase price.

 

At the same time, the buyer’s loan approval is moving through final underwriting.

 

“This is where clarity and paperwork meet — and where we stay one step ahead.”

🔎 What We’re Watching Closely

   ✔ Appraised value vs. contract price
   ✔ Buyer loan conditions & underwriting status
   ✔ Communication from the lender on timing
   ✔ Any risk of delays or financing issues

📉 What If the Appraisal Comes In Low?

Don’t worry — we’ve seen it all. If the value is below the contract price, we’ll walk you through options like:

 

✔ Buyer covering the gap
✔ Price negotiation
✔ Appraisal dispute or reconsideration
✔ Cancelling (rare — last resort)

💰 Financing Confidence = Fewer Surprises

We stay in close contact with the lender and buyer’s agent — ensuring everything is on track so you don’t get blindsided days before closing.
