A Final Walk-Through

Because Moving is a Moving Experience?
When you have found your special home, when the feelings are all there, you need to keep in mind that there are a few final issues that must be addressed. When you do your final walk-through, make sure that the following things have been done to your satisfaction:
Be certain that repairs you have requested have been made. Obtain copies of paid bills and any related warranties.
Note if all items that were included in the sale price - draperies, lighting fixtures, air conditioners, etc., remain in the home.
Make sure screens and storm windows are in place or stored.
Inspect all included appliances and be sure they are working.
Check the intercom, doorbells, and all alarms to be sure they are operational.
The water heater should be inspected and operational.
The HVAC should also be checked out to be sure it is working.
Inspect the yard to be certain that no plants or shrubs have been removed.
Do a once-over with the garage door opener and be sure the remotes are available.
Make certain that the pertinent instruction books and warranties on appliances and fixtures are there.
Be sure, before you begin moving in, that all the sellers' personal items and all debris have been removed.
