  5. Conduct Due Diligence: Inspections, appraisal, surveys, repairs, title work, and financing all must be thoroughly delt with before the closing can happen.
  6. Finalize Financing and Closing: Work closely with your lender to finalize your mortgage and secure financing. Coordinate with a real estate attorney or title company to handle the necessary legal paperwork. Complete a final walkthrough of the property before closing.
