Get knowledge. One thing you'll probably feel during this transition time is being out of control. It feels like everyone else has taken over your life. The seller, your lender, the appraiser, the inspectors; all have the power to say yes or no to your moving plans. Your real estate agent and loan officer will do their best to let you know ahead of time what your expenses will be, and what the unknowns are so you shouldn't have any nasty surprises down the line. They'll tie down the loose ends as soon as possible.
They'll try to get your loan approved within a reasonable time frame. They'll educate you as best they can and let you in "behind the scenes" so you won't ever feel uninformed or out of control.
Don't be afraid to ask questions and demand answers. No question is a stupid question only the one you don't ask. Read everything there is to read and take the first time home buyer classes. Knowledge is key to success.
