If you haven’t listened to Episode 15 yet, hit pause and go back! Today’s episode builds on last week’s topic and walks you through what really happens when you go under contract as a seller.

A lot of people think that once their home goes under contract, the hard part is over—but that’s rarely the case. The truth? The real work begins after that “under contract” sign goes up.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the process step-by-step—from the home inspection to the repair negotiations, appraisal, and everything in between. You’ll hear a real story about how I helped one seller cut a 53-item repair list down to just 12.

We’ll talk about why emotions can complicate repairs, how to handle buyer requests strategically, and what to look for during the final walkthrough before closing. Because believe it or not, I’ve seen final walkthroughs completely derail a deal!

Whether you’re getting ready to sell your home or you’re already under contract, this episode will give you a clear picture of what’s coming next—so you can make it to the closing table with confidence.
