After weeks of paperwork and planning, you\u2019re finally back at the house for one last look. It\u2019s exciting, sure, but this isn\u2019t just a casual visit. Things can change between contract and closing<\/a>, and this is your moment to catch them. You don\u2019t need to be an expert, just a little intentional. Knowing the right questions for final walkthrough<\/a> keeps you from overlooking things that matter.<\/p>\n

Between the inspection<\/a> and closing<\/a>, plenty of things could go wrong with a property. Before you hand over your money at closing, you need peace of mind that what you agreed to buy and what the seller is delivering are actually the same thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

To help you get to that place of buyer confidence, we spoke to Reed Pirain, a top real estate agent in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania<\/a>. His experience as a multi-million-dollar producer has given him great insight into how to conduct a proper final walkthrough.<\/p>\n

Pirain says that a stress-free walkthrough often begins days before the scheduled event. Your real estate agent<\/a> should follow up with the seller\u2019s agent regarding repairs and receipts before the final walkthrough. For complicated repairs, your agent may be able to request a secondary walkthrough a few days before closing, depending upon local laws.<\/p>\n

Remember: the final walkthrough isn\u2019t the time to dispute things that should\u2019ve been covered in the inspection. Instead, focus on things that may have changed, elements that might have been damaged, and repairs that should have been made. Here are 44 questions for a final walkthrough that should help homebuyers feel at ease going into closing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
