You Got the House! Now What? | Top Tips for Buying a Home in the Olympia, WA/JBLM Area

Great news! The sellers have accepted your offer! What happens next? What do you have to do, and what does your agent do?
Welcome to the fourth video of my series, "Homebuying Unboxed: Fresh Tips for Homebuyers!"
I’m REALTOR® Scott Tompkins, and I’m here to guide you through the homebuying journey, providing valuable insights and tips along the way. In this series, I give you a comprehensive understanding of the entire process, from our initial meeting to the moment I hand you the keys to your new home.
In this video, I'll walk you through the important steps that happen right after "mutual acceptance"--when you and the seller have a contract.
Join me as I cover opening escrow, scheduling inspections, researching the property, ordering the appraisal, and the preliminary title commitment, all information you need to know!
Subscribe to my channel for more valuable insights and tips on navigating the Thurston County real estate market. Let's find your perfect home together.
Thanks for watching, and happy house hunting!
Scott
