What Happens After Your Offer Is Accepted? (Step-by-Step)
Your offer is accepted—congrats!
Now what?
Here’s what happens next.
1. Deposit
You’ll submit a deposit (usually within 24 hours).
2. Conditional Period
If your offer includes conditions, this is when you:

Your lawyer will:
- Handle legal paperwork
- Conduct title searches
- Prepare for closing
5. Final Preparations
