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.
