Once any contingencies are lifted, the contract is officially in full effect and the process proceeds towards closing. If the buyers are acquiring financing an appraisal will need to be scheduled, which is the lending institution’s way of confirming the home is worth what the buyers are paying. You will also interact with a title company or attorney, who will handle the closing paperwork and ensure all the i’s are dotted and t’s are crossed for legal transfer of title (the document stating you own the home and have the ability to sell it).
