LiveMARYLAND Buyer Tip: What to Look For At A Final Walkthrough header image.

The primary purpose of a final walkthrough is to ensure that the home is in substantially the same condition as of the time you made your offer, and that any agreed-on repairs, if any, were made by the seller. This is typically done the day before or the day of settlement. 


We've put together a list of things to look for at a final walkthrough that we give every one of our buyers so that we can ensure nothing is missed, and that there are no surprises after move-in.


  • Turn on and off every light fixture

  • Run water and check for leaks under sinks

  • Test all appliances

  • Check garage door openers

  • Open and close all doors

  • Flush toilets

  • Inspect ceilings, walls, and floors

  • Run the garbage disposal and exhaust fans

  • Test the heating and air conditioning (if possible)

  • Open and close windows

  • Make sure all debris is removed from the home

  • Double-check that all repairs that were agreed upon have been completed (along with any receipts / invoices and warranties)
