You’re Under Contract — Next Steps

This neutral checklist helps a buyer organize questions after a contract is accepted. Follow the signed contract, builder communications, and the buyer’s professional advisers for actual deadlines.

1. Save the signed contract and addenda in one place.
2. Confirm the builder contact, preferred communication method, and next scheduled milestone.
3. Ask the lender, insurer, title or closing professional, inspector, and broker which items they need and when.
4. Keep change requests and selections in writing; do not assume a verbal conversation changes an agreement.
5. Before closing, compare final documents with the signed agreement and ask questions early.
