A final walk-through is conducted anywhere from a week right up until a few hours before closing. This isn’t supposed to be the time for negotiations with the seller or backtracking on the original agreement. A final walk-through is really conducted for a few different reasons.
It can be tempting to pass it up. As the closing draws near and moving time is closing in, buyers get busy and it can be hard to set aside time to go do this final walk-through. However, it is a good one-hour investment of your time and it can save a lot of headaches in the future.
In many states, the buyer and the seller never meet in person and that is usually the best way to do it. The final walk-through should ideally be conducted after the sellers have moved out all of their belongings. Your real estate agent will help you set everything up and let you know when to conduct it. It is a good idea to have them present to go through things with you if they are available.
