How long does it usually take to close once I accept an offer?

Once you accept an offer, most homes close in about 30 to 45 days.

That timeline is typical for financed deals, allowing time for inspections, appraisal, and final loan approval. If the buyer is paying cash, it can move much faster, sometimes closing in as little as 7 to 14 days.

Kristina Hutchison is known for keeping this process tight and predictable. She will tell you the timeline itself is standard, but what matters is how the deal is managed within it.

Delays usually come from missed details like slow communication, drawn-out inspections, or paperwork issues. When everything is handled proactively, inspections are scheduled immediately, title work starts early, and each step is anticipated before it becomes a problem.

So while 30 to 45 days is the norm, a well-managed transaction can feel seamless and stay right on track.
