Page 28 Local Town Pages www.millismedwaynews.com May 2016 Buying a Home: The Final Walkthrough by Joleen Rose When buying a home, the last thing you do before you sign on the dotted line is go to the house and do a final walkthrough. This is different than the home inspection and done just prior to the final closing of the sale. The purpose of this walkthrough is to make sure the house will be delivered as agreed in your contract. You want to make sure the seller is leaving the house in working order and no problems with the house have occurred since the last time you where there. Here’s a quick checklist that will help you make the most of your final walkthrough: • Bring your purchase contract with you and verify that all items agreed to in the contract have been taken care of • Make sure the home and the exterior are free of personal belongings • The home and exterior should also be free of trash • Test all the appliances • Confirm all the light fixtures are working • Turn on ceiling fans as well as exhaust fans in the kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry area. • Check to make sure that the garage door remotes are in working order • Go through the house and turn on every faucet and flush all the toilets • Run the garbage disposal and trash compactor • Open and close all the windows and doors to make sure they are opening and latching properly • Look for any damage on the ceilings, floors, and walls such as new scratches, cracks, or other issues • Finally, account for all keys to the property This is an important step to take and could save you lot of headaches. This allows you to be able to resolve any problems before you close on the house.
