Offer accepted! Celebrate, then get organized.
Once escrow opens, these five steps can help you begin with clarity:
1. Save your escrow number and contact information.
2. Verify wire instructions directly with the escrow office by phone.
3. Deliver your initial deposit by the contractual deadline.
4. Review and complete your opening package promptly.
5. Keep your contingency and closing dates visible.
One important security reminder: never rely on unexpected emailed changes to wiring instructions. Call the escrow office using a known or independently verified number before sending funds.
A prepared opening sets the tone for the rest of the transaction.
Buyers: save this for your next purchase.
Real estate agents: share it with your clients after acceptance.
