Buying a House? Here’s Your Final Home Walk-Through Checklist
Preparing to close on a house? Make sure you’re ready for your final walk-through. The purpose of a final walk-through is to ensure that the seller has completed all of their agreed-upon fixes and/or replacements prior to the buyer signing the closing documents. If you’re the buyer, think of it as your last chance to make sure that everything is how you want it before moving in. If you notice something out of place or different from the last time you saw it, now is the time to speak up. To make the process an efficient one, we’ve compiled a final home walk-through checklist for you to bring. Best of luck and happy moving!
