The deal’s not done yet — here’s what to expect next.

What happens after your offer is accepted in Johnson or Tarrant County?
You’ll go through inspections, negotiations, appraisal, and final underwriting — and yes, this is where surprises can happen.

Step 1: The Inspection 🛠️

In Texas, you’ll typically have an option period to conduct inspections.

Common issues we see locally:

  • Foundation movement

  • Drainage concerns

  • Aging roofs

  • HVAC performance

Not every issue is a deal-breaker.
But everything is negotiable.

We help you decide what’s reasonable to request — and what’s typical for homes in this area.

Step 2: The Appraisal 💰

Your lender orders this.

The appraiser determines whether the home supports the contract price.

If it comes in:

  • At value → smooth sailing

  • Above value → instant equity

  • Below value → negotiation time

We guide you through options calmly and strategically.

Step 3: Final Loan Approval

Your lender verifies:

  • Employment

  • Income

  • Debt

Big tip:
🚫 Don’t open new credit cards.
🚫 Don’t buy furniture yet.

Yes, it happens more than you’d think.

The Truth About This Phase

This is the most stressful part for buyers.
But it’s also temporary.
