Buying Process: Step 12
Final Walk-Through:
Before closing, you’ll do a final walk-through of the home—usually 24–48 hours before the settlement. This is your opportunity to:
Verify that any agreed-upon repairs have been completed
Ensure the home is in the same condition as when you made your offer
Check that all included items (appliances, fixtures, etc.) are present and working
Why This Matters:
Confirms that the seller fulfilled their obligations before you take ownership
Helps you avoid surprises on closing day
Protects your investment and ensures a smooth transition into your new home
