What Happens After I Accept an Offer?

What Happens After You Accept an Offer on Your Attleboro Home?

Getting an offer feels exciting—and a little overwhelming.
Here’s what happens next.

Step 1: Buyer Inspection

The buyer hires a licensed inspector to review structure, systems, and safety.
We prepare by understanding common Attleboro inspection items.

Step 2: Negotiations

Buyers may request repairs or credits.
I guide you through what’s reasonable and what’s not.

Step 3: Appraisal

If the buyer has a mortgage, the lender orders an appraisal.
We support value with comps to avoid issues.

Step 4: Final readings, smoke inspection, septic inspection, 6(d).

Before you sell you will need final readings for metered utilities such as water/sewer, oil, propane, final trash bill. You will also need to conduct a smoke inspection. We handle the inspection and have contacts who can help you prep your home so that it passes. If your home in on septic you will need to schedule a Title V septic inspection. It is best to do this before the home is on the market incase there are any issues you have plenty of time to fix them. In the state of MA you cannot sell a home without a passed Title V. If you live in an HOA or Condo Association, you will need to have a 6(d) signed. The 6(d) states that you do not have an outstanding balances with the association. You cannot close without a signed and notarized 6(d).

Step 5: Title Work & Final Paperwork

The attorney handles title search, certificates, and mortgage payoff information.

Step 6: Closing Day

You sign documents, hand over the keys, and receive your proceeds.

 

Your home is worth how much?!
