Buying New Construction? Always do a walkthrough

By
Real Estate Agent with Skylight Real Estate Consultant

Your house is finally completed, and you can't wait to move in; but when you build a new home, you should join the builder before you close the deal.  Prepare yourself; make a checklist of the things to review and question to ask.  If repairs are needed, get a time frame for completion before you move in.  Examine every detail; inspect countertops, cabinetry, fixtures, floors, walls, and ceilings.  It's difficult to prove preexisting conditions after you've been living in the home; so being thorough in you walk-through can pay off in the long run.  

As a real estate professional, I can help you buy a new or an existing one.  Call me any time when you want expert counseling.

A pre drywall and pre walkthrough inspection done with a home inspector is not a bad idea at all also!

Agreed with post and comment. ALWAYS inspect and walk-through, new or existing.
