My wife and I recently sold our house, and had to play the waiting game. It wasn't our first sale, but I felt pretty familiar with how the closing process goes. Our home sold in 3 days, and after accepting the offer the buyers agent said to expect a quick close since they had excellent credit and pre approval was through a major lender. That was late August. Closing got scheduled for mid September.
I kept getting laughed at cause I said from the beginning that realistically we probably would not end up closing until October. Sure enough, a day before closing something came up on the buyers credit report from and old account they had forgotten about. It took about 3 weeks to correct, but we finally closed October 5. I was not happy to have been right but with closings I've learned to expect the unexpected. Patience is all we have.
In my experience, clearing the appraisal is the biggest hurddle. So you should be good!!! Like the previous poster said, just dont go shopping until you've closed! Gaurd your credit like your life depended on it! The sellers want to get paid. The agents want to get paid. You want your house. Everyone wants to move on...patience is all you need. You're almost there!!! You got this!
