The CFPB tells buyers to check agreed repairs and items the seller promised to leave before signing papers. [CFPB closing guidance, modified 2025.08.21; checked 2026.10.14](https://www.consumerfinance.gov/owning-a-home/close/close-the-deal/). For your agent website, publish a checklist that connects each observation to its supporting record and next contact. Give buyers a printable version and an optional question form. Keep unresolved observations visible through the handoff to the people handling the purchase. This article specifies a website page to commission. The worksheet, proposed wording, and acceptance checks below are editorial recommendations. Have your broker approve the local process and service description before publication. ## Define the resale question near the top Use a heading such as **What should I check at my final walkthrough?** Follow it with the condition-check purpose, your service area, and the contact for questions. Redfin's ranking article covers repairs, retained items, systems, room checks, preparation, and problems discovered during the visit. Use its coverage to assess your outline. [Redfin final walkthrough checklist, checked 2026.10.14](https://www.redfin.com/blog/final-walk-through-checklist-before-closing-on-a-home/). Make your page specific to resale condition verification. Keep builder orientation, new-build defect closeout, warranty coverage, and professional inspection stages in separately reviewed resources. Give a buyer who selected the wrong resource a clearly labeled route to ask for help. Publish the core checklist without requiring contact details. Place your approved buyer-service description and receiving agent beside the optional inquiry. - [New construction walkthrough checklist: a page brief for agents](/articles/new-construction-walkthrough-agent-buyer-checklist) ## Prepare the records before the visit Redfin recommends bringing the purchase terms, inspection report, written repair agreements, and a way to record observations. [Redfin preparation guidance, checked 2026.10.14](https://www.redfin.com/blog/final-walk-through-checklist-before-closing-on-a-home/). Build a preparation panel around those records. Ask the buyer and agent to identify the applicable versions privately. Keep signed contracts, complete reports, and property photographs outside the public website form. Propose blank fields for the property reference, agreed appointment, repair agreement date, and receiving transaction contact. Have the people handling the purchase confirm access, utility availability, and timing. Leave unconfirmed arrangements marked **To confirm**. Avoid a universal countdown or attendance rule. Ask your broker or attorney to confirm any local explanation of access and timing before publishing it. ## Give each condition check a record and a status Use this proposed worksheet as a starting point. The observation categories draw on [Redfin's interior and exterior checklist, checked 2026.10.14](https://www.redfin.com/blog/final-walk-through-checklist-before-closing-on-a-home/). Have your broker review the final categories and wording. | Check | Question to organize | Record beside the observation | | --- | --- | --- | | Agreed repairs | Does the observed work match the written agreement? | Agreement reference and question for reviewer | | Included items | Are the agreed appliances and fixtures present? | Applicable inclusion or exclusion | | Changed condition | Is there visible damage to discuss? | Location, dated note, and permitted photograph | | Water and drainage | Do accessible faucets, toilets, and drains operate as expected? | Observation or reason not checked | | Appliances and systems | What happened when agreed checks were performed? | Item, observation, and inspector question | | Doors and windows | Do accessible doors, windows, and locks operate? | Room and item requiring follow-up | | Remaining belongings | What needs comparison with the agreed delivery condition? | Location and relevant agreement | Give each row these status choices: **Checked, no discrepancy observed**, **Question raised**, **Not checked**, and **Not applicable**. Require a reason for an unchecked item. Keep the reason with the item when printing or saving the worksheet. Add fields for the next contact, date contacted, response, and unresolved question. Treat a repair receipt as a separate document to review. Avoid a single green badge that declares the whole property acceptable. Keep the walkthrough worksheet separate from the professional inspection report. CFPB recommends an independent inspector accountable to the buyer and a thorough inspection. [CFPB inspection guidance, modified 2024.12.12; checked 2026.10.14](https://www.consumerfinance.gov/owning-a-home/close/schedule-a-home-inspection/). For an unfamiliar system or suspected defect, direct the buyer to the appropriate professional. Ask the inspector to approve any operating instructions included on the page. ## Make unresolved items a named handoff CFPB directs buyers to raise missing agreed repairs or retained items immediately. It directs sale-term questions to the real estate or settlement professional and loan questions to the lender. [CFPB closing guidance, modified 2025.08.21; checked 2026.10.14](https://www.consumerfinance.gov/owning-a-home/close/close-the-deal/). Specify an issue record with the observation, supporting agreement, professional contact, and next confirmed step. Keep **Sent**, **Response received**, and **Resolution confirmed** distinct. Ask who confirms the resolution and what record supports that conclusion. Do not make a website checkbox decide whether a buyer should close, cancel, demand a credit, or accept a repair. Have the buyer's broker or attorney review the applicable contract and circumstances. Route financing changes to the lender. Put the confirmed transaction contact ahead of the general website form for an existing buyer with an urgent closing question. Publish no response-time commitment without the recipient's agreement. ## Preserve the checklist question in the website inquiry Use an optional action such as **Ask about preparing for a resale walkthrough**. Name the receiving agent or team. Explain the help they offer using approved service wording. Request reply details, the market or property reference, the buyer's stage, and the question. Offer **Planning ahead**, **Under contract**, and **Not sure**. Make any proposed appointment date optional and label it unconfirmed. Carry the source page and selected stage into the received message. Keep the visitor's wording intact. Describe the confirmation as a submitted question; leave appointment confirmation with the responsible person. If the visitor also needs to sell, offer a separately labeled seller question within your stated service area. Keep seller preparation and buyer condition verification distinct in the received inquiry. ## Accept the page against the worksheet and received message Require the builder to demonstrate the page on a phone and desktop. Use contact details you control for marked test submissions. | Acceptance check | Evidence to require | | --- | --- | | Public checklist | Opening answer, source links, and worksheet remain readable without registration | | Printable version | Same questions, status choices, source dates, and contact route as the page | | Unchecked item | Reason remains visible after printing or saving | | Local wording | Broker-approved process and reviewed source records accompany the brief | | Buyer inquiry | Intended recipient receives stage, source page, question, and reply details | | Seller option, if included | Seller purpose remains identifiable at its agreed destination | | Errors and recovery | Invalid entries permit correction; failed delivery does not show success | Record the tested devices, submitted values, and matching received message. Keep failed checks open. These requirements establish no completed website implementation or inquiry result. ## Include the checklist in the whole website fix brief Supply your current buyer page, approved resale checklist, local process, printable requirements, and inquiry recipient. Request this page explicitly in the written scope. The [Scale With Search $2,000 whole website fix](/for/real-estate) repairs or rebuilds an agent or small-team website. It includes an inquiry-path test with proof of receipt. Confirm this checklist page's inclusion before work starts. [Published website scope, checked 2026.10.14](https://scalewithsearch.com/work). Assign an editor to maintain the public page and printable worksheet together. Give that person the approved sources and instructions for repeating the affected inquiry checks. - [Test the seller inquiry path on your real estate website](/articles/seller-inquiry-path-agent-website) - [Check your real estate website in 30 minutes](/articles/real-estate-website-audit) - [Own your real estate website: domain, hosting, editing, and leads](/articles/own-your-site) ## Related: Real estate - [Test the seller inquiry path on your real estate website](/articles/seller-inquiry-path-agent-website) - [Check your real estate website in 30 minutes](/articles/real-estate-website-audit) - [Own your real estate website: domain, hosting, editing, and leads](/articles/own-your-site) ---- ```text .|########||. .|########||. .|########||. |##||. .||##|. |##||. .||##|. |##||. .||##|. |#|. .|#|. |#|. .|#|. |#|. .|#|. |#| |#| |#| |#| |#| |#| .#| |#. .#| |#. .#| |#. .#. .#| .#. .#| .#. .#| |#. .#| |#. .#| |#. .#| |# ...... #| |# ...... #| |# ...... #| .# ||#########| #| .# ||#########| #| .# ||#########| #| .#. |######||######|. .#. .#. |######||######|. .#. .#. |######||######|. .#. #. .##|###|##|#|######| .# #. .##|###|##|#|######| .# #. .##|###|##|#|######| .# || |##|#||||||||||||#||#| || || |##|#||||||||||||#||#| || || |##|#||||||||||||#||#| || # |#||||||||||||||||||||#| #. # |#||||||||||||||||||||#| #. # |#||||||||||||||||||||#| #. || |#||||||||||||||||||||||#| || || |#||||||||||||||||||||||#| || || |#||||||||||||||||||||||#| || # .#||||||||||||||||||||||||#| # # .#||||||||||||||||||||||||#| # # .#||||||||||||||||||||||||#| # || ....|||#||||||##|#|||#|#||##||||....|. || || ....|||#||||||##|#|||#|#||##||||....|. || || ....|||#||||||##|#|||#|#||##||||....|. || #. . ....|# ....#||| ||| .#||| ....#. .# #. . ....|# ....#||| ||| .#||| ....#. .# #. . ....|# ....#||| ||| .#||| ....#. .# # . ||||#| .#####|| . .#| .#||| ||||# #. # . ||||#| .#####|| . .#| .#||| ||||# #. # . ||||#| .#####|| . .#| .#||| ||||# #. .| ||||| #. |#|||||. || #. |#||. .||||| || .| ||||| #. |#|||||. || #. |#||. .||||| || .| ||||| #. |#|||||. || #. |#||. .||||| || || |.... #. ....|#. |. ...|. ....|| || || |.... #. ....|#. |. ...|. ....|| || || |.... #. ....|#. |. ...|. ....|| || #. .||||||##||||||##||####|||||||#||||||#| .# #. .||||||##||||||##||####|||||||#||||||#| .# #. .||||||##||||||##||####|||||||#||||||#| .# # .||####|###########################|. # # .||####|###########################|. # # .||####|###########################|. # # .#||||||.#.|| # |. ..# #| #|||||#| # # .#||||||.#.|| # |. ..# #| #|||||#| # # .#||||||.#.|| # |. ..# #| #|||||#| # # .#|||||| .. |# ## |#| ...#|#|||#| # # .#|||||| .. |# ## |#| ...#|#|||#| # # .#|||||| .. |# ## |#| ...#|#|||#| # # .#|||#|# .# .#| #| ##|.#..#|||||#| # # .#|||#|# .# .#| #| ##|.#..#|||||#| # # .#|||#|# .# .#| #| ##|.#..#|||||#| # # .#||||||############|######|||||#| # # .#||||||############|######|||||#| # # .#||||||############|######|||||#| # # |...||#||||||#||||#|#||||||#|||||#||| |.| # # |...||#||||||#||||#|#||||||#|||||#||| |.| # # |...||#||||||#||||#|#||||||#|||||#||| |.| # #. .. ||||# .|||##|. |#| .|| || .|||#. #| # .# #. .. ||||# .|||##|. |#| .|| || .|||#. #| # .# #. .. ||||# .|||##|. |#| .|| || .|||#. #| # .# || | ...|| ...##| | #| .|. |. ##### .. .| || || | ...|| ...##| | #| .|. |. ##### .. .| || || | ...|| ...##| | #| .|. |. ##### .. .| || || ||||| || ||||#| . |. |. |#. ||||| |#| || || || ||||| || ||||#| . |. |. |#. ||||| |#| || || || ||||| || ||||#| . |. |. |#. ||||| |#| || || .# |.....#|....|#.||||.|||##.|#|....||.#||.#. #. .# |.....#|....|#.||||.|||##.|#|....||.#||.#. #. .# |.....#|....|#.||||.|||##.|#|....||.#||.#. #. #.|||||||#############################| ||| .# #.|||||||#############################| ||| .# #.|||||||#############################| ||| .# || ##||#||#||||||#||#||#||#||##. || || ##||#||#||||||#||#||#||#||##. || || ##||#||#||||||#||#||#||#||##. || # .#|||||||||#||#|||||||||||#| # # .#|||||||||#||#|||||||||||#| # # .#|||||||||#||#|||||||||||#| # || |#||||||||||||||||||||||#| || || |#||||||||||||||||||||||#| || || |#||||||||||||||||||||||#| || .# |#||||||||||||||||||||#| #. .# |#||||||||||||||||||||#| #. .# |#||||||||||||||||||||#| #. || |#||||||||||||||||||#| || || |#||||||||||||||||||#| || || |#||||||||||||||||||#| || #. .######|#|#########| .# #. .######|#|#########| .# #. .######|#|#########| .# .#. |#####||||#####| .#. .#. |#####||||#####| .#. .#. |#####||||#####| .#. |# ||########|| #. |# ||########|| #. |# ||########|| #. |# ...... #| |# ...... #| |# ...... #| |#. .#| |#. .#| |#. .#| |#. .#. |#. .#. |#. .#. .#| |#. .#| |#. .#| |#. |#| |#| |#| |#| |#| |#| .|#|. .|#|. .|#|. .|#|. .|#|. .|#|. |##||. .||##| |##||. .||##| |##||. .||##| .||########||. .||########||. .||########||.
