Before closing, buyers have one last opportunity to walk through the home. This step is critical to confirm the property’s condition matches the contract. You’ll want to check that repairs were completed, appliances are still in place, and no damage has occurred since inspections. Skipping this step could mean inheriting problems you didn’t expect.

As your agent, I attend final walkthroughs with my clients and make sure nothing is overlooked. If issues are found, we can work with the seller to resolve them before closing. This extra layer of protection ensures you get what you agreed to and that your move-in is as smooth as possible.
