SO EXCITING!!! Congrats! Go through the contract with your lawyer and ask them to call out anythings to look out for. Otherwise, you're good to go!

Make sure anything the seller are leaving (appliances, blinds, light fixtures, etc.) are listed in your contract. Same goes for things they plan to take with them.
