Want to wake up in your NEW home on Christmas morning? 🎄 There’s still time, but step 5 is the one most buyers miss. 👀
Getting your offer accepted is the halfway point, not the finish line. The weeks between “under contract” and “keys in hand” are where deals get delayed and money gets left on the table.
Think the holidays are too close to buy? Not with new construction. Many DFW quick move-ins are already built and can close in about 30–45 days.
Once you’re under contract:
✨ Days 1–3: earnest money + option fee to title, fast
✨ Option period: inspect, negotiate, decide before it ends
✨ Don’t touch your credit (yes, even holiday gifts 🎁)
✨ Read the title, survey, and HOA docs
✨ Building new? Blue tape EVERYTHING + confirm your incentives
✨ Closing week: call title to verify wire instructions
Let’s talk builder incentives 👀 Year-end means rate buydowns, closing cost help, and upgrades. But the builder’s rep works for the builder. You need someone on YOUR side making sure every incentive shows up at closing.
That’s me, and hiring me costs you nothing. The builder pays my commission. 🙌
