How do I assign a Future<List> return type to a variable?

I have created a method that makes API call. It receives and the returns the data as example bellow shows:

Future<List<SearchResult>> postCall() async {
  List<SearchResult> searchResult = [];
  ....
  return  searchResult;
}

And, I have tried to store the response into the List as bellow code shows. But, I have got this error: Avalue of type Future<List<SearchResult>> can't be assigned to a variable of type List<sResult>

I am trying to store the response into list as List is easier for me to loop through the data. Is there an alternative way to store the response in the List? or how can I iterate through the nested objects using FutureBuilder?

List<SearchResult> sResult = [];
sResult = serviceOne.postCall();

I think it should be this, because it is result of Future.

sResult = await serviceOne.postCall();
