Your Final Steps Towards Owning Your New Property
Any homebuyer should make a final walk-through of their perspective new property before signing the closing papers. This is to ensure that there has been no new or undiscovered damage to the property. It also ensures that everything that is supposed to be included as part of the transaction has not been removed, and is in the home at closing. This gives the homebuyer one last chance to make sure that everything is intact and their opportunity to verify that everything is a go at your end and nothing looks changed. At this point, if you do see anything that looks different it is your opportunity to point it out and ask questions. Don’t panic if you do notice something amiss—usually there is a very simple explanation for it that makes total sense.
Take a careful walk around the homes exterior and make sure that the windows, siding, roof, gutters and foundation all look acceptable. Walk around the interior as well and test the doors, toilets, lights, appliances, and anything else you can see in the house.
