Should I bring my home inspector back for the final walk through?

A final walk through is an often over looked and sometimes mistreated part of the home buying process.  Many buyers simply take a 20 minute walk through of the house right before the closing.  This is a mistake.
A final walk through serves many purposes.
- Make sure all agreed upon repairs are completed.
- All appliances and warrantied items are operating properly.
- Confirm that the home is in the same condition as it was when the contract was executed.
 
 
That being said, a final walk through is not an inspection.  You've already done that.  So there's no need for you to bring your home inspector back with you.
Here are a few tips for your final walk through :
- Take a copy of your contract with you so you can refer to it, if needed, to make sure all agreed upon repairs have been completed.
- Start with the exterior.  Visually inspect to make sure everything looks the same as it did when you signed contracts, including landscaping.
- Check the heating/AC systems.
- Check all major appliances.
- Check all faucets for proper pressure and leaks.
- Flush all toilets.
- Open and close ... more
