What Happens During a Final Walkthrough in Southern Oregon?

Preparing for a final walkthrough? Learn what Southern Oregon buyers should check, document, and communicate before closing.

The final walkthrough is a chance to review the property in relation to the purchase agreement shortly before closing.

It should not be treated as a replacement for inspections or an assumption that every issue will be resolved simply because closing is near.

Review the Agreement First

Know which items are included, which repairs were negotiated, and what the contract says about possession and property condition.

Bring relevant amendments, repair documentation, and a practical checklist.

Your broker can help identify what needs verification.

Check Included Items and Agreed Work

Look for appliances, fixtures, equipment, and other items addressed in the agreement.

Review negotiated repairs and ask for documentation where applicable. Depending on the work, professional verification may be appropriate.

Do not rely only on appearance when the agreement requires something more specific.

Observe Current Condition

Look for new damage, leaks, debris, or other changes.

Where practical and appropriate, check the operation of relevant systems and fixtures. Coordinate any limitations involving utilities or access before the visit.

Report Concerns Promptly

Document issues and contact your broker immediately.

The available response depends on the agreement and circumstances. Avoid assuming that an informal promise or a note left at the property changes the contract.

Allow time to address questions before completing the transaction.
