Doing our walk-through

We are doing our walk through of the house on Sunday. Does anyone have a check list they can send me, so I am prepared for this. I did a search and couldn't find what I was looking for. I will also take any tips or advice. THANK!

Re: Doing our walk-through

just bumped a list for you

it's got some stuff in there that doesn't apply to walk thru (such as utility costs, etc) but its extensive....
