Final Walk through

On the way back to DE from our vacation, Matt called Mr. Seller to schedule the final walk through. This is typically done with your realtor prior to closing to make sure everything is in order. We would be doing it with Mr. and Mrs. Seller because we have no realtor AND this would be the first time we met them.

The closing was scheduled for 1:00pm so we scheduled the final walkthrough for 12:00. We just hung out all morning, thrilled about everything that was about to happen! It was a great day!

We drove up to the house and there they were, the bane of our existence [slight exaggeration]. We had decided before driving up the house that we would be the MOST gracious buyers possible, because although Mr. and Mrs. Seller had taken years off of our life due to undue stress, they were selling their house full of memories and it was certainly not an easy process for them.

To our delight Mr. and Mrs. Seller were very gracious as well. It was like we were with an entirely different couple than we had been dealing with for the past 2 months. Mrs. Seller walked me around the gardens and described the plants to me and Mr. Seller told Matt the history of the neighborhood. We met some of the neighbors who were overwhelmingly nice and went on our way to inspect the house.

We walked through the house and tested everything like it was a home inspection, as that is what ‘they’ recommend you to do. We ran the washer and all the faucets and checked all the rooms. It was good to go!
