After the Offer Is Accepted: What Oklahoma Home Sellers Should Expect

October 20, 20251 min read

The Hard Part Is Over — Almost

Getting an offer accepted is a big milestone, but there’s still a process between “sold” and “closed.” Understanding what happens next helps you stay calm and confident.

Step 1: Inspections Begin

Buyers will schedule their home inspection, usually within a week. Be prepared for possible repair requests or negotiations. Keep your home accessible and clean for appointments.

Step 2: Appraisal and Title Work

The buyer’s lender will order an appraisal to confirm the value. Meanwhile, the title company will ensure there are no liens or issues with ownership transfer.

Step 3: Repairs and Renegotiations

Inspection results can trigger repair requests or credits. This is where experience matters — a skilled agent helps protect your bottom line while keeping the deal intact.

Step 4: Final Walkthrough

Before closing, buyers will check that agreed repairs were completed and the home is in the same condition as when they made the offer.

Step 5: Closing Day

You’ll sign your documents, hand over the keys, and celebrate. Proceeds are typically wired to your account within a day or two.
