Step 8: Final Walkthrough — One Last Check

Closing is just around the corner, and this is where we pause, breathe, and do one last confident sweep of your future home. Think of it as your final chapter… where clarity meets comfort and you step into your new home with absolute peace of mind.

Why It Matters

The final walkthrough isn’t a full inspection—it’s your last opportunity to confirm everything is as agreed. It ensures the condition hasn’t changed, repairs are complete, and you’re not stepping into surprises. Once the papers are signed, this is it… so let’s make it count.

What to Bring

To stay practical and focused, bring:

  • Your inspection report and any repair addenda

  • Your purchase agreement with specifics on included items

  • A checklist, flashlight, and your phone or camera to document anything

  • A phone charger—because yes, we’ll test those outlets too

What We’ll Look For

Together, we’ll move room by room to confirm:

  • Repairs Completed – Every agreed repair should be done—and done right.

  • Included Items – From lighting fixtures and appliances to keys and window treatments—if it’s on the list, we’ll make sure it’s there.

  • All Systems Go – We’ll test faucets, flush toilets, try out HVAC, cycle appliances, check light switches, and even test outlets.

  • Exterior & Security – We’ll walk the perimeter, check landscaping, test garage doors, and confirm locks and alarms are working.

If Something’s Off

Even the most prepared buyers can encounter hiccups. If something doesn’t align with the agreement or isn’t in the expected condition:

  • We can ask the seller to fix it before closing

  • We can delay closing until it’s resolved

  • We can agree on a credit at closing to cover the issue


Why this step matters:
This is your moment of truth—when clarity, preparation, and presence of mind turn potential anxiety into celebration. By methodically checking, documenting, and understanding each part of your future home, we make sure you walk into closing day with confidence… not surprises.
