I like to wait as long as possible and don't like to do a walk-through until the last 24 hours prior to closing.

if the closing is scheduled for 9:00am in the morning, the walk through will be at 8:00am....

Usually a day or two before closing, but sometimes it's the day of the closing!

Usually depends on the buyers' schedule - either the day before closing, or right before the closing.

Robert, I agree the closer to the closing the better for the buyer.

William and Joan, if the seller is already out that makes it easier to do the final walk through closer to the closing.

Cindy, if the buyer insists on doing the final walkthrough a couple of days before closing I will offer to stop by on the way to the closing just to check and make sure the AC unit wasn't stolen or a water pipe burst if they want me to.

Kevin J. May, our P.A. stipulates 48 hours prior to closing. I think it's prudent to do it as near closing as possible.

Kathleen, that is interesting how things work in Hawaii. Are the sellers expected to be out when it is funded two-three days before the closing? That could lead to some interesting things after it has funded, but before the closing takes place two to three days later!!!

Andrea, that is a very wise policy. I just can't imagine the horror your former broker must have experienced upon learned the house burned down after the walk through! Oh my!!!

Kathleen, we are on the same page. We like to have the buyer repairs finished a week before closing so the home inspector can do a re-inspet and work through any possible issues. I like to do the final walk through on the way to the closing just to make sure everything is as it should be.

Pamela, does you CA contract have any constraints about doing an inspection repairs check a week before closing, and then doing a final walk through right before closing?

Eric, we do have to be mindful of the buyer's schedule and work around it.

Debbie, the only thing I don't like about the night before is if a water pipe bursts or the AC unit could get stolen overnight.

Ditto, Praful-especially if it is a vacant home as there have been air conditioner condensers stolen! That is why I like to do so on the way to the closing.

Our sales contracts stipulate the day before or the day of closing. Miss either of those and it's waived.

As close to closing as we can make work. I once found a basement with 3 ft of water in it an hour before a Friday closing. What a mess. We did get it closed Monday, by the way.

Typically, we do our walk-through on the same day as the closing if circumstances permit. On occasions when travel is difficult for the buyer, we do this the day before close.

Bruce, Generally speaking 3-5 days before the close. I almost always to one final walk-through myself before I give the escrow officer the okay to close. I want to make sure the walls and the appliances are still there and there is no damage that was not present at the time of the initial walk through.

I do it right before the closing. I have had water heaters burst over night.

As close to the closing as possible, but enough time to solve any issues. However, most of the time it is the day of because the sellers need to be out. Also, if it was before the day of, I always go the day of myself. My former broker had a house burn down between doing a walk through on one day and the closing. Oops. I always remember that and want to make sure what we are buying is really there! Overly cautious perhaps.

Usually 3 to 5 days before closing. On Kauai the funding goes through 2 days ahead and we always try to do it before the funds transfer.

It really depends upon the availability of the buyer. I've done them anywhere between a week to close up until the day prior to close.

Depends on where the client is from, if the sellers are out the day before and jsut time over all. also if we are worried about the home and how it was left.

Depends on whether some work needed to be done. Most of the time we do in on the way to closing.

I like to do my walk-through the day before, just in case there is a problem. This will give us time to have any problems taken care of.
