Description

A final walk through is an inspection performed by the buyer anywhere from a few hours to five days before closing. Its main purpose is to ensure that the property is in the agreed-upon condition in which purchaser expects to receive the property, i.e., that all agreed-upon repairs have been made and no problems have arisen since the buyer last saw the house. The final walk through can take place without the seller being present and often does. However, it is a good idea for the seller to be on the premises at the time.

Ideally, you want to come to agreeable terms with the seller so they get the proceeds from the sale and you can move in.
