Preparation
Financing conversations, document gathering, and team selection can happen before touring. A clear property brief keeps the search focused when suitable inventory appears.
Offer and contract
An accepted offer is generally followed by attorney diligence and contract negotiation. Timing varies with property type, document availability, and the issues discovered.
Financing and building review
The lender's process can overlap with a co-op or condo application. Co-op board review may add interviews and approval steps; condo boards generally have different rights and procedures.
Closing
A closing date depends on contractual terms, financing, title or lien work, building requirements, and the availability of all parties. Treat any early estimate as a planning range, not a guarantee.
