Under contract
Attorney review typically lasts about five business days. The buyer's inspection usually occurs during this time, and your attorney will respond to any repair or credit requests. If the buyer is financing, an appraisal follows.
Closing
Your attorney prepares the deed and coordinates with the title company. You'll typically pay off your mortgage, prorated property taxes and closing costs from the proceeds. Learn more in home selling costs in Illinois.
