The Final Walkthrough: Why It Matters More Than You Think

Your Last Checkpoint Before Closing

The final walkthrough is your opportunity to make sure the home you’re about to buy is exactly as agreed upon.

What We Look For

• Repairs from inspection are completed
• Appliances and fixtures remain if included in contract
• No damage from the seller’s move
• Home is clean and in agreed-upon condition

Why I Never Skip It

Even small issues—like missing blinds or damage from moving furniture—are easier to resolve before closing than after.

A Walkthrough Win

In Bartlett, a final walkthrough revealed the seller had accidentally taken the washer and dryer that were supposed to stay. We caught it, had them returned the same day, and closed without delays.

Bottom Line: The walkthrough is your last layer of protection before you get the keys.
