Walkthrough- Crossing the T's and Dotting the i's!

As a homebuyer, the "walkthrough" before closing is simply the opportunity to make sure everything is in the same condition, or better, than when you signed the offer to purchase.  The purpose is to make sure all of the seller's personal property has been removed, nothing was damaged in the moving process, the seller's obligations were met (i.e. having the living room painted or the house cleaned before closing,) and most importantly, what needed to stay in the house stayed, like appliances for instance.

If any repairs were negotiated in the contract, this would be the last opportunity before the buyer accepts possession and ownership to make sure they had been completed satisfactorily.  So if you have an electrician friend, or a plumber friend, it might be a good idea to invite them!  Walkthroughs are even necessary with new homes!
Many homebuyers tend to think that since it's a new home, there can't possibly be anything wrong or malfunctioning with it.  Not the case!  Homes are built by humans, in the elements.  Many things can and sometimes do go wrong!  
North Carolina is a "caveat emptor" state.  Meaning, "buyer beware!"  Once the buyer signs for the home, they've signed for everything- including the hidden problems!  Take the opportunity to examine your home first!
