Preparing yourself for the final walk-through It’s an exciting time. You’re packed up, inspections are done, the loan paperwork is all behind you, and you are so close to owning a new home you can almost taste it. During this brief period when homeownership is within shouting distance, it’s time for the long-awaited final walk-through. Perhaps you haven’t even entered the house since that first week or so after offer-acceptance, so it may have been a good, long while since you’ve seen it up-close-and-personal. According to Realtor’s Jamie Wiebe, for a previously lived-in home, all one needs is a scroll through TikTok to find a plethora of horror stories. But take heart. “While the vast majority of walk-throughs reveal no problems at all, any walk-through story is there to make sure you insist on a final house tour in the last 30 days of the sellers’ occupancy. Let’s face it. A lot can happen during the 30-45 days you’ve been under contract — to your house, to the surroundings of your house, to appliances, and to other items that were to remain in the home. Tales of missing refrigerators, washers and dryers, walls marred during the move-out, and toilets that no longer flush? They’re all out there. In most of these cases, sellers credit their buyers enough of a budget to take care of replacing and repairing items when it’s obvious things have changed since the contract was signed, and your agent is key in making sure this is all negotiated after the walkthrough. But, says everyone who ever had anything to do with real estate: If you do not go to your final walk through, you would not have had that opportunity to fight back and push as hard as you can to try to get someone to make the situation right.
