Pre-Closing Walkthrough Checklist

Use this handy checklist to reconfirm the condition of the property before closing.  We suggest planning a minimum of one hour to complete the walkthrough.  Be sure any repairs or alterations agreed upon by the seller have been completed in a workman-like manner.  It is a good idea to make sure that all utilities are turned on to evaluate the systems.  Bring along a working light bulb and some type of electrical appliance (such as a small lamp) to check light fixtures and outlets for operation.
