A walk-through inspection—often called the final walk-through—is not a full home inspection. Instead, it is conducted shortly before closing to verify that the property condition has not changed, all agreed-upon repairs have been completed, no new issues exist, the seller has moved out (unless otherwise agreed), and that all fixtures and appliances remain in place. This final step is important because it confirms repairs were completed, ensures no new damage has occurred, verifies the home is empty and clean, protects the buyer before closing, and helps avoid last-minute disputes.
