🚨 FINAL INSPECTION CHECKLIST: Don’t Miss These Before You Close! 🏡
Your final walk-through is your last line of defense before you get the keys. Think of it as your quality control check for the biggest investment of your life.
Here’s EXACTLY what to inspect:
1️⃣ Repairs & Agreements – Every repair from your inspection report should be completed, documented, and done right.
2️⃣ Major Systems – Test HVAC, water heater, electrical outlets, light switches.
3️⃣ Plumbing – Run every faucet, check water pressure, flush toilets, look under sinks for leaks.
4️⃣ Appliances – Oven, fridge, washer/dryer — make sure they work.
5️⃣ Windows & Doors – Open, close, lock. Look for cracks or sticking.
6️⃣ Floors, Walls & Ceilings – Spot any new damage or stains since your last visit.
7️⃣ Fixtures & Inclusions – Blinds, light fixtures, built-ins — confirm nothing is missing.
8️⃣ Cleanliness – Home should be broom-clean and move-in ready.
💡 Pro Tip: Bring your original inspection report and walk room-by-room to confirm nothing was skipped.
