Congratulations — your home’s under contract! But before you start packing boxes, there’s still work to do.
In Wilmington, closing a home sale involves coordination between agents, attorneys, lenders, and inspectors — and timing matters.

At Dream Team United, our job is to handle those moving parts so you can focus on what’s next.

Step 1: Inspections and Negotiations

Buyers typically order a home inspection within 10–14 days. If issues come up, we’ll help you decide which repairs or credits make the most sense. Our goal? Keep your deal moving forward without unnecessary concessions.

Step 2: The Appraisal

Next, the buyer’s lender orders an appraisal. If it comes in low, don’t panic — we’ve negotiated dozens of appraisal gaps and know how to find fair solutions.

Step 3: Title and Legal Review

Your attorney will verify ownership and clear any liens. This step protects both parties and ensures a clean transfer at closing.

Step 4: Final Prep and Walkthrough

A few days before closing, the buyer will do a final walkthrough. We’ll make sure everything is move-in ready and handle any last-minute questions.

Step 5: Closing Day

Once documents are signed and funds transfer, it’s official — you’ve sold your home! We’ll even handle coordination with movers or cleaners if you need a stress-free transition.
