Laid Back Chat We are all friends here and sometimes we just want to chat. It doesn't have to be real estate web development all the time, some times we have a new baby in the family, sometimes we have a beef or boquet. Sit back and relax here.

Default Do you show up to the final walkthrough?

As a seller, do you typically show up to the final walkthrough of one of your listings...I've gotten mixed messages from various buyer's agents if I am there.

Not usually as a sellers agent, always as a buyers agent.

I think it's nice when a seller is present during the final walk-through to be able to answer any questions on operating mechanical items. Some sellers are at the property during final walk-through, some aren't. I've really never had any problems either way.

I rarely attend the final walk-through when representing the Seller.

I agree, but only when the closing is a "peaceful" one!

Maybe I read the question differently. Boulder wrote, "as a seller". Maybe he did mean seller's agent. I do not go to a final walk-through for my listings.

I should have been more clear...re-reading my question, I actually ask from the standpoint of the seller and the seller's agent - sorry for the confusion. I appreciate the feedback on both positions

Not if I'm representing the seller unless it is requested that I be there by the seller. If you are the seller, I would be there to answer any final questions the buyer may have... They always ask how the pool works..

We do not have too many "final walk throughs" b/c many of my clients are from out of state as are many of the buyers. I actually can't remember the last final walkthrough. I assume this is normal for beach/resort areas like Galveston.

That could get scary in a hurry.
