Check list for the “walk-through”..usually 5 days before the close of escrow:

- Keys?? Where and when will you receive them after the close of escrow.
- Phone installation set up or just cell phone?
- Trash days? __________________

- Go over repair list to be sure that all have been completed correctly and in a professional manner.
