Step 7 - Other service/product providers


After your offer has been accepted, your OzarksHome.com team will supervise the coordination of the other service and product providers and serve as your advocate when working with each provider. Your team will make sure that the providers have access to the property at the appropriate times to perform their procedures and oversee the execution of those procedures on your behalf. Whenever possible you should also attend these procedures where you can learn more about the home and future maintenance procedures.

For instance, the property will need a thorough examination. Working with your lender, you may need to have a formal appraisal and a survey done for the property designated in the contract. A property inspection, a foundation inspection, and an environmental inspection may also need to be completed to make sure that the property is up to the standards set forth in your written agreement. If there are issues or inconsistencies brought to light during this time, it may delay or even nullify the contract depending on the contingencies set forth in the contract.

Homeowner insurance is another very important item that will need to be taken care of at this point. Insurance experts recommend that you obtain insurance equal to the full replacement value of the home. Unless you have insurance coverage on the home, the closing can not proceed. Having these procedures done in a timely and professional manner is a must. Investigate each provider to make sure that they are reputable and have a clean operational history. Your OzarksHome.com team has special information for you regarding homeowner insurance.

Your team's experience in these areas will be invaluable in making sure that everything is completed on time and in a professional and appropriate manner.
