What to Check on Your Final Walk-Through

10/31/2022

0 Comments

 
The final walk-through on your new home is an exciting event. It means you have successfully maneuvered through negotiations, inspections, and financing approval, and are on the verge of signing your closing papers. Most buyers attend the final walk-through with thoughts of furniture placement and paint colors in their heads. But the walk-through is about more than just making sure your favorite chair will fit by the fireplace. Be sure to do your due diligence to make sure there are no issues that should be resolved before you reach the closing table.  

The purpose of the final walk-through is to ascertain that the home is being conveyed to you in the same condition it was when you agreed to purchase it. Here are a few of the things you should check:  

1) Make sure no damage has occurred to the home that the sellers are responsible for repairing. Weather conditions or careless movers can cause accidental damage, and old and forgotten damage may be uncovered when the sellers’ belongings are removed.  

2) Check that appliances are still in working order and no new plumbing or electrical issues have popped up. While you aren’t doing a complete home inspection, you can visually check for obvious problems that should be repaired before you move in.  

​3) Confirm that items contractually conveying are present. If the sellers agreed to leave particular furniture, décor, or equipment, see that it has not been removed.  

​4) Make certain the sellers have removed all their belongings. You don’t want to arrive with the moving truck only to find out that the sellers left behind an assortment of unwanted furniture or trash. The sellers should be held responsible for removing everything that doesn’t convey with the sale.

    As a Realtor, Builder and previous Mortgage Specialist, if you have questions, all you have to do is ask!

    Having been raised on the building lot, completing projects from new construction to major renovations, and spending two years as a professional Mortgage Broker, I have been involved in all aspects of a Real Estate transaction.

    In addition to my experience I have obtained my Bachelors Degree in Management from Dalhousie University. I believe that every real estate transaction should be made as smooth and stress free as possible. To ensure the above I use all aspects of my education and experience to treat every transaction as though it were my own. 
     
    My goal is to make sure your purchase or sale is positive, giving you a reason to comfortably refer me to your family and friends.
