From Contract to Closing

Getting Under Contract Is Only the Beginning

Receiving an acceptable offer on your home is exciting—but there’s still work to be done before you can officially say, “SOLD.”

Once your home is under contract, the Moving Memphis Group at Emmett Baird Realty continues managing the transaction and guiding you through the important steps between contract acceptance and closing.

Inspections, repair negotiations, appraisal, financing, title work and deadlines can all affect a transaction. Our job is to help keep the process moving forward, anticipate potential issues and make sure you understand what comes next.

Managing the Details

A real estate contract contains important dates, obligations and contingencies that need to be carefully managed.

Depending on your transaction, we’ll help coordinate and guide you through:

  • Earnest money and contractual deadlines
  • Buyer inspections
  • Repair requests and negotiations
  • Termite inspections when applicable
  • Appraisal
  • Financing and lender-related issues
  • Title and closing coordination
  • Final walkthrough
  • Closing preparations

We communicate with the buyer’s agent and work alongside the lender, title company, closing professionals and other parties involved in the transaction to help keep everyone moving toward closing.

When Problems Arise

Not every transaction goes exactly according to plan.

An inspection may uncover an unexpected issue. An appraisal may create a challenge. A buyer’s lender may request additional information. A repair negotiation may become complicated.

This is where experience matters.

Led by Tracie Benetz, a full-time Tennessee REALTOR® since 2013 with more than $187 million in career real estate sales, our team has successfully navigated hundreds of real estate transactions.

When something unexpected happens, we’ll help you understand the issue, explain your options and work toward a solution while protecting your interests.

Preparing for Closing Day

As closing approaches, we’ll help make sure you know what to expect and what needs to be completed before you hand over the keys.

If you need additional help along the way, we can also provide contact information for professionals and service providers our clients have used, including contractors, movers and other resources.

And our relationship doesn’t end when the closing documents are signed.

We’re always happy to answer questions, provide real estate advice or help when you’re ready for your next move.
