NEW BUILD TIPS: PRE-CLOSING WALKTHROUGH | What to Expect at Your Blue Tape Walkthrough | Be Prepared

Pre-closing walkthrough. Blue tape walkthrough. What is it, and what do you need to know before you go? Be as prepared as possible with these tips, and see how the walkthrough went for me just last week!

There are so many things that you'll need to pay attention to here, this is one you want to be very comfortable with before you get started so that your final walkthrough and journey into homeownership is streamlined and easy.

Every builder is different so be sure to check with them if you have any questions about the process for your specific home.

Thank you so much for taking the time to create this content and share it with us and give us your insight and knowledge. our first walk-through is tomorrow, and this is making me feel a little better about it. We have a four-month-old and no babysitter, I really hope we can give it our full attention.

For 1. I dont know why but I had an "instant connection " with you ( go figure ) 2. You have been very thorough with what to look for during final inspection of a home purchase, I dont think realtors and even an inspector would tell you stuff you mentioned in your video.
I am closing soon ( like really soon) so your video came really handy.
Thank you for posting this video to help people out and hearty congratulations on your new home purchase.

Is it just me, or does anyone else just enjoy listening to Nicole speak? 😃You have a great voice ... you must start your own podcast.
Hopefully, by now you've closed and started moving moved into the new house #Congrats! Thanks for sharing!!

Hi Nicole! This is helping me so much as I create a checklist for walking through our new-build home. One question -- How clean should we expect our home to be on closing day? Is it normal for the builder/seller to fund a final clean prior to closing? (We noticed some of the toilets had been used and left a bit untidy in one of our showings -- I am hoping they rectify that!)

Thanks Nicole for posting such valuable info. I actually have a walkthrough coming up soon. Two items noticed and asking for your expertise. 1- noticed uneven window walls on couple of bedrooms, perhaps bad sheet rock leveling 2- poor paint work ( around trims, ceiling to wall two color bleeding etc) . Are these considered cosmetic or mandatory to be fixed prior to final walkthrough? Thanks again and much appreciated

Did you have an independent home inspector?

[jerritjoy]

How long did your build take from dig to finish?

[mariailagan]

Who are you building with? Is this with Drees?

Thank you this was sooo helpful.
Our walkthrough is tomorrow (yaay🎉) but I’m concerned about the drive through because there was a water leak underground and they had to dig a HUGE hole in the ground to replace the water line. But they only replaced or fixed the part of the drive way that way broken up and not the spot where we can see that there was a heavy machinery ( Excavator/ tractor digger) on the driveway. I worry that the warranty on the driveway will be voided because of what they did. I’ll definitely ask about this tomorrow.
