The final walkthrough is the buyer's last opportunity to inspect the property before closing. It typically takes place a day or two before the closing date. During this walkthrough, the buyer will check to ensure that the property is in the same condition as when they agreed to purchase it. They'll confirm that any agreed-upon repairs have been completed and that no new issues have arisen since the inspection.
As the seller, your role is to make sure the property is clean and any personal belongings have been removed. Ensure that all agreed-upon repairs are finished and that all systems (like plumbing, electrical, and HVAC) are functioning properly. The goal is to leave the property in move-in condition, meeting the buyer's expectations so that the closing can proceed smoothly.
If any issues arise during the walkthrough, they might need to be addressed before the closing, which could involve additional negotiations. However, if everything is in order, this step should be a simple formality that brings us one step closer to finalizing the sale.
