When you purchase a home you have viewed it a few times prior to putting an offer in on a house. Then once the offer has been accepted you have had a home inspection on the home. So chances are that you have viewed the home a few times now.
As you get to the day of the closing your Realtor will tell you to do a final walk through on the house prior ot closing. depending on the time fo day you are closing it can be the day of closing or the day before. But waht are you looking for when you do the walk through? Do you now what to look for?
Most people are unaware of what to expect at the walk through. You had viewed the hosue prior to placing an offer and during the home inspection process. The home owner has done some repairs to the home. So, you want to make sure the home is in the condition it was in when you viewed it at the time you placed an offer. Also, that the repairs you requested and agreed upon with the seller were performed...
It is crucial that you do this prior to closing. Because once you sign the papers for the new home you now own it. There is no turning back and you cannot go after the seller for anything that you did not notice initially or may have happened after you last saw the house..
So, make sure you find time to do a proper walk through on a house the day of closing or the day before....
