I Can Save You Trouble By Having A Double Walk Through Before Closing
What does that even mean?
It is interesting, but typically when you buy a house you see it once on the
initial day that you decide to buy it and then after closing and you get the key.
I don't do it that way. When my clients look at the house they want to buy, you put in the offer and wait for the inspection report to come back. From there we negotiate any repairs that need to be done.
At this point, generally, we will see the receipts of what was done but do we actually see the repair work? Most times the answer is no.
Recently, I had an experience that made a big deal in our transaction. When we negotiated our list of repairs we waited until they were done and then we did our FIRST walk-through. What we found was that the repairs had been completed but in a poorly done way. This is the step that is often overlooked.
Walk we had to do then is go back to the seller and say this is shoddy work and we won't accept it this way. The seller was then obligated to go back and fix it right. Then we went back for the SECOND walk through to see that the repairs were done to the buyer satisfaction.
I hear lots of Realtors say that a day or two they do their final walk-through which is generally their FIRST and FINAL walk-through a couple of days before closing. In my humble opinion, that is not enough time if there were some corrections to be made. In addition, that leaves 2 days in which things could go wrong.
If you are my client, we will do the THIRD and FINAL walk-through on the way to the closing. What if in the night the water heater broke and the house was flooded? Or the air conditioner/heater stopped working in the night.
When you buy a house it is important that you are aware of everything that is happening from start to finish. Let me represent you in your purchase and we will check the house out many times before we actually get to the closing table!
