About this term

Walk-through checklists should include verification that repairs were completed, systems are functioning, and no damage has occurred since inspection. Checklists also verify that included items (appliances, fixtures) are still present. Taking photos or video during the walkthrough creates documentation.

Pro Tip

Review your inspection report before the final walkthrough and create a checklist of items needing verification.

Example

The buyers' walk-through checklist included items from the inspection report that required repair, verification of included appliances, condition of flooring and paint, and functionality of mechanical systems.
