What happens during the final walkthrough?
The final walkthrough is your chance to confirm the property is in the agreed condition, requested repairs are complete, and no new issues have arisen. It typically happens shortly before closing.
Your last look before closing
The final walkthrough is your opportunity to confirm the property is in the agreed condition. It commonly occurs shortly before closing, depending on the purchase agreement and scheduling.
This is your last look at the home before you take ownership, so it is worth taking seriously.
What to check
During the walkthrough, verify that the property remains in the agreed condition, agreed repairs appear complete, included fixtures and personal property remain, required belongings and debris have been removed, and no new visible damage has occurred.
Bring your purchase agreement and your inspection notes so you can compare what was promised with what is actually there.
What it is not
The final walkthrough is not a second home inspection, and it is not an automatic opportunity to renegotiate previously accepted conditions. It is a confirmation, not a redo.
If something is genuinely wrong, we will address it. But the goal is to walk in, confirm everything is as it should be, and get you to closing with confidence.
