want to make sure that there’s no major damage that wasn’t
present the last time you were there, that any appliances or
other items that were included in the contract are in fact still

you agreed to buy it.
Although taking that final walk-through is not required of
you, it’s essentially as important as an inspection where you’re
looking throughout the home and making sure you’re happy
with it. During the walk-through make sure you check that the
furnace is working, that the roof is in good shape if possible,
that there’s hot water, and that all the toilets are flushing
properly.
24.) What can I expect at closing?
Closing is something you’ll hear a lot about during the homebuying
and mortgage process and many buyers, especially
first-time buyers, don’t really know what’s going to happen or

Closing is simply when the deal essentially closes and you
take ownership of the home. Typically keys will be exchanged,
closing costs will be cleared up, and any remaining items
will also be taken care of. During the home loan process your

disclosure (CD) of how much you’ll have to pay at closing;
they’re required by law to supply this estimate. They’ll also tell
you about any and all documentation that you’ll need to bring
