We usually check major repair items days before closing and get it resolved. I haven't seen a seller pay a buyer for damages or repairs in years.

I have been doing this for a long time any way. Having a walk through the day before the close leaves very little time to address anything. 

That is the same advice I have been given by my closers.

It seems that this is necessary Roy. The news laws are on many peoples minds in our industry.

Yes, we are asking for final walk throughs at least 7 days before closing.

It makes sense to make sure work that was agreed upon has been completed. My biggest concerns are getting the closing statement done correctly to make sure there are no last minute changes.  Paperwork should all be completed in the first week along with all inspections.  The HOA Docs need to be ordered immediately as well.  The final walk through wasn't a concern until now, thank you for the head up!

I think I will do one early ....then one closer to closing date ....Great question Roy Kelley 

TRID does not apply in Canada so the answer is no.

Good morning Roy. That is a new one for me, but it just sounds like a little over reaction.

no

yes - it is a very good idea. 

Good to do an early and a just before walkthrough.
