Appraisal
The appraisal is ordered by your lender to protect their investment. They have their own checklist of things they look at for the final approval to move forward. The appraiser can demand repairs completed by the seller before they will give their approval.
7
Inspections
Now that you've found your home we need to order the inspection. The inspection will let you know what repairs are needed, some are minor and some may be safety issues. Don't worry, you are still protected.

Rebeccah was amazing! She was knowledgeable, thoughtful and kept us informed throughout the process. We were selling a home several hours from where we live and she went above and beyond to coordinate things that needed to be done at the home, saving us time and money.
Beccah is absolutely amazing at what she does. She was very thorough in walking us through the buying process, and she was always available for questions along the way. We found our dream home and closed in less than a month after letting her know our wish list and budget. She also helped us find excellent contractors and inspectors to evaluate the home and provide bids on necessary items. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience all around. I would give 10 stars if I could!
Beccah helped my wife and I buy our first house. We could not be happier with our decision to work with Beccah. She is everything one wants in a real estate agent. Beccah is very responsive, knowledgeable, positive, and professional. She will do whatever she can to get you into your dream home. If you are looking for a real estate agent who will work diligently with your best interests at heart, contact Beccah Lee.
Beccah helped my husband and I find the perfect home. She drove 2.5 hours from her city TWICE to help us get into our dream house at the beach. This was in an area she hadn't previously worked in often at all and she made the 2.5 hour drive one way like it was nothing at all. Her constant communication and dedication to us made the process seamless compared to my previous home buying experience. She also connected us to a lender who was supportive and knowledgable. It was such a great team that I referred my brother a few months later and he's now a first time homeowner and SO happy. I was nervous as a protective sister of a neurodivergent brother but I trusted Beccah to support him well and she did just that. When my parents are ready to sell and buy again in a few years I'll be recommending they work with Beccah. She's funny, knowledgable, patient, and validating.
