Home Buyers: Don't Miss These 5 Things During a Final Walk-Through
So you've sorted through the many South Bend homes for sale, found the perfect one, and your offer was accepted. You've got your financing in order and are anxiously anticipating your closing date. Congratulations! Your final walk-through and the closing are now the only steps standing between you and homeownership.
While the final walk-through might seem like a formality, it's actually very important. This is your last opportunity to ensure that any agreed-upon repairs have been completed as expected and there are no changes to the home since the last time you saw it. These five tips from our real estate agents will make the process easier and help ensure you don't miss a thing.
- Gather Up Your Essentials
Before you head over to the walk-through, take a minute and gather up all of the items you might need. These include a copy of your contract, your inspection summary, and your smartphone.
You might need to reference your contract or inspection documents if something doesn't seem right. Your smartphone will be invaluable if you need to take photos to document an issue. Most importantly, make sure your real estate agent comes with you. They've likely done this hundreds of times and can act as a second set of eyes to ensure you don't miss anything.

Buyers: How to Deal With Home Inspection Issues
When buying a home, the seller should disclose any problems or information that would otherwise make you reconsider purchasing their home. But sometimes these things are only revealed after a home inspection.
Don't let a home inspection discourage you entirely from purchasing a home, though. Our real estate agents have been on both ends of home inspection issues and have a few tips and tricks for helping you work through them with the seller.
- Get It in Writing
Before you get too far, make sure that your contract has provisions for what happens if something goes awry during the home inspection. In most cases, basic contracts have wording that allows you as the buyer to request or schedule a home inspection within a number of days from the contract being signed.
Unfortunately, that's where most of it ends and there is very little detail outlining what happens or who is responsible for repairs if something is found to be unsatisfactory. At this point, it's up to you to negotiate with the seller to find a fair and equitable solution, or, better yet, leave this part to your real estate agent to negotiate on your behalf.
