Your final home walkthrough is one of the last big moments before the keys are yours. More than a formality, it's your chance to ask questions, verify that everything is ready for move-in, and feel genuinely confident heading into closing day.

‍

For buyers exploring new communities in Chattanooga, this is the moment to move through each space with intention. If you're wondering what to look for and what to ask, here's a guide to help you arrive prepared.

‍

Confirm What Has Already Been Checked Before Your Walkthrough

‍

At GreenTech Homes, we hire a third-party quality inspection company to evaluate each home before the homeowner walkthrough. That team creates a punch list for our construction crew to complete, and once the work is finished, the same company returns for a second review.

‍

This extra step is designed to reduce or eliminate any open items you encounter during your walkthrough. For buyers comparing new construction homes in Chattanooga, that additional layer of oversight can make a meaningful difference heading into closing.

‍

What to Ask and Check During the Walkthrough

‍

It always helps to arrive to your new home walkthrough with a clear checklist in mind. Start by taking in the finish work, including paint, trim, flooring, cabinets, and tile. This is your chance to admire all the details of your home come together.

‍

As you move through each room, get a feel for how everything works. Open a few doors and drawers, try the light switches, and run a faucet or two. Your builder will walk you through the home's key systems and features along the way, so think of this less as an inspection and more as a guided introduction to your new home.

‍

Your builder will walk you through the key home systems, including the thermostat, electrical panel, and main water shutoff, so you're ready for homeownership. Before heading inside, look over the exterior as well, covering the driveway, porch, siding, landscaping, grading, drainage, and final cleanup.

‍

Your builder will explain how any remaining items will be documented, completed, and confirmed before your move-in date.

‍

What to Know Before Closing

‍

The walkthrough is also a good time to think beyond move-in day. Ask about basic maintenance tasks to keep in mind during the first year, and take a few minutes to review GreenTech's warranty information before closing. Every GreenTech home comes backed by a 10-year warranty through Quality Builders Warranty (QBW), the nation's leading home warranty provider, underwritten by Liberty Mutual. Once you're in your home, you'll work directly with QBW for any warranty needs, so you always know exactly who to call.
