Video Series: You've Accepted a Contract... Now What?
Welcome back to Crye-Leike Insights! We are here to share tips, stories, and wisdom from our Crye-Leike family. In this week's episode of Crye-Leike Insights, Laura Gaither, Managing Broker of our Bartlett, TN office, fills us in on what to expect after writing up a contract!
Congratulations! You contract has just been accepted on a new house! But, now what?
How long after accepting the contract is closing? Closing usually occurs 30-45 days after a contract has been accepted.
Why is my Realtor asking for Earnest Money? Earnest money is a specific form of security deposit made in some major transactions such as real estate dealings to demonstrate that the applicant is serious and willing to demonstrate an earnest of good faith about wanting to complete the transaction.
Do I need to order an inspection? Short answer: YES! "Some of the typical inspections are the home and termite, but there are many other inspections that you can have done. So, get with your agent and see if they can help you find the perfect inspector for you. Some things that you may wanna have looked at are pool inspection, plumbing inspection, HVAC, and there's so many more!"
What is a Resolution Period? Once the inspection has been completed, you'll compile a list of things that you may want the seller to complete prior to closing. During this time, you and the seller will go back and forth. Once you have negotiated an agreement on which repairs will be completed, that will complete your resolution period.
Will I get my keys at closing? Keys are not usually given at closing. Make sure you talk to your agent to better understand when possession will occur.

Video Series: Preparing Your Home for Buyers
Welcome back to Crye-Leike Insights! We are here to share tips, stories, and wisdom from our Crye-Leike family. This week, Leslie Murray from our Brentwood, TN office, stopped by to share her top 3 tips for preparing your home for potential buyers.
Curb Appeal
You want to make sure that the front of your home looks nice. This is the first thing that people will see and you want this to look inviting to potential buyers.
Straighten Up
You never know when a potential buyer might want to stop by and take a look inside your home. By keeping your home clutter-free the rooms will look bigger and it will be easier for visitors to imagine living there themselves.
Clean Smells
Keeping your home in tip-top shape all the time can be hard. A great tip is to keep Clorox wipes stored around your home to clean up messes quickly and keep your home smelling fresh!
