What Happens After I Go Under Contract on a New Construction Home in Greenville SC?
At first glance, going under contract feels like the big step.
And it is.
But it’s not the end… it’s really the beginning of the next phase.
Why this matters
Knowing what happens next helps you feel more prepared instead of unsure.
A real moment I see often

A buyer signs the contract and then asks,
“Okay… what happens now?”
That’s where things start to come together.
What can help
Some buyers focus on:
* timelines from contract to completion
* communication with the builder
* selecting finishes or options
* preparing for closing
There’s a rhythm to the process once you understand it.
At this stage, some buyers also start thinking about who is guiding them through the process and whether they should have their own representation.
