The Final Walkthrough Before closing, the buyer will perform a final walkthrough. This is not another inspection — it’s confirmation that the home is in the agreed-upon condition. Make sure: • All agreed repairs are complete. • No new damage has occurred. • The property is clean and ready for transfer. • Personal items not included in the sale are removed. First impressions still matter, even at the finish line. A clean, move-in-ready home leaves buyers confident and cooperative. Closing the Deal with Confidence The closing is the final step — where signatures seal the sale and ownership officially transfers. It’s also the moment where attention to detail pays off. Your closing checklist: • Review the final settlement statement (check for accuracy). • Confirm all agreed-upon credits or concessions are reflected. • Bring valid ID and any required documents. • Coordinate with your Realtor®, title company, and lender to ensure smooth execution. • Leave behind keys, garage remotes, and appliance manuals. The best closings feel effortless because the groundwork was solid. Protecting Your Reputation A well-managed inspection and closing don’t just end a sale — they build your reputation. Buyers remember how you handled challenges. Agents remember how you communicated. Future opportunities may come from how you closed this chapter.
