Closing Day & Beyond
You’re not a transaction—and your home search shouldn’t feel like one. That’s why we’ve developed a proven process, built exclusively for Heyward Realty clients, that pairs personalized guidance with strategic structure—so you stay informed, empowered, and supported every step of the way.
Here's How It Works.
Step: 1
Initial Consultation
We start by understanding your goals—whether you’ve done this before or are just starting out. From price point and location to lifestyle and timing, we get the full picture. Then we tailor a strategy that works for you—offering expert insight, trusted lender connections, and clarity on how to get the most out of your search.
Step: 2
Lending & Market Education
We work with buyers at every stage—and no matter your experience, we’ll make sure you’re clear on the financials and confident in your offer strategy. From deposits and upfront costs to lending options and deal structure, we guide you through the details that matter—without the overwhelm.
Step: 3
Personalized Home Search
This isn’t a generic Zillow search with delayed listings and clickbait. We set up a personalized MLS search that gives you real-time access to the same data we see—so you’re first to know when something hits the market. Behind the scenes, we also tap into off-market opportunities, agent networks, and local insight to help you find the right home before the rest of the internet even knows it exists.
Step: 4
Offers & Negotiation
When it’s time to make an offer, we combine market insight with smart strategy to help you move fast—and move confidently. We’ll break down comps, highlight your strongest terms, and use creative tactics like seller leasebacks or personalized cover letters to give you a competitive edge. Every offer is crafted with intention and negotiated with care—because getting the house is only worth it if it’s the right move for you.
Step: 5
Contract to Close + Beyond
Once you're under contract, we go into full operations mode—coordinating with inspectors, attorneys, appraisers, the lender, and the listing agent to keep every piece moving. We manage the logistics so you don’t have to, with proactive updates and clear next steps, always. You’ll know exactly what’s happening—without having to chase anyone down.
Step: 6
Closing Day & Beyond
We don’t disappear once the ink dries. From final walkthroughs to contractor referrals, vendor contacts, and move-in tips—we’re here to help you settle in with ease. And long after closing, you’ll still hear from us: client-only events, helpful updates, and personal check-ins are just part of the Heyward Realty experience. Once you're in, you're family.
