Pre Closing Re-Visits
As part of the Agreement, you will have negotiated one or two re-visits before closing.
Unless you request and additional time for a specific reason (ie several trades coming to give you
estimates), these visits are intended to last for the typical showing length of one hour.
The purpose of these revisits is not to conduct a second home inspection, but to generall reacquaint yourself with the property, show family members, measure up rooms and plan what will go where.
As part of your last revisit, you do want to verify that you are getting all that was promised in the sales contract. Although buyers still have legal recourse if they discover—even after closing—that the condition of the home is not as it should be, the best time to identify problems is before closing when the seller will be motivated to correct any deficiencies to close the transaction.
Typically, a buyer takes possession of a property one to three months after signing the sales agreement. And a lot can happen before the actual move-in. Appliances and fixtures can break, and walls, carpets and doors can be damaged. Sometimes the seller will simply have forgotten that he or she has agreed to leave the refrigerator or window coverings with the house.
Whatever the reason, problems identified before the closing have the best chance of being remedied. With this in mid, we will tour the home carefully ensuring it is in the same condition you recall. If you discover that something is damaged or missing, I will contact the Sellers’ Agent right away and ask them to have their clients address the issue. I will also advise your Lawyer and the Seller’s Lawyer of the issues and the contact made to the Seller through his agent.
I've only rarely experienced situations where problems arose. Usually it is the Sellers Agent who calls to advise that the Sellers have undertaken repairs during the pre-close period.
