Home Inspection and Final Walk-Through Checklist for Homebuyers

It can be daunting for homebuyers and sellers to keep track of all the details related to a home inspection or final walk-through. After nine years as a real estate broker and as a syndicated columnist on RealtyTimes.com and author of my fourth real estate book; 1001 Tips for Buying and Selling a Home, I have mapped out all the possible items and ideas that you should keep in mind when completing these two important parts of a home purchase or sale.
