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
