Today my buyers got a

Blue Tape Day✨

Or New Construction pre Walkthrough

It’s why buyers need a own realtor and not just builder representative because 

Together with your Realtor as your representative , you can inspect the house and mark off any items that need attention

That’s where the blue tape comes in.

All the tagged parts of the home create a “punch-list,” or “punch-out list,” for the builder to correct. 

Also we used red tape as red flags that require repair.

I will list what to looking for /by https://www.rocketmortgage.com/learn/a-complete-final-walkthrough-checklist /

•  Uneven floors
•  Completely broken or severely damaged appliances
• Completely broken or severely damaged home systems
• Poor ventilation
• Leaking roof
• Cracks in the foundation
• Other threats to the structural integrity, like rotten wood
• Poor drainage

Some possible risks to your new home’s interior and exterior include:

• Signs of pests, like rodents, termites, ants, and larger animals such as raccoons
• Mold growth in moist areas, like the bathroom and kitchen
• Improperly installed structures like handrails, flooring or lighting
• Faulty wiring
• Clogged gutters
• Early water damage
• Cracks in the foundation (allowing water and radon to seep in)
• Other environmental hazards such as carbon monoxide

Also need to inspect every surface, from floors to mirrors to walls.

At that time, it’s important to check the windows as well. 

• Glass is clean and easy to see through, with no scratches or cracks

Windows are more than an aesthetic accessory. They also play a key role in protecting your home. 

Like windows, drawers and doors need to move smoothly.

This includes any type of door or drawer, like front doors, back doors, interior doors, garage doors, storm doors and cabinets.

Examine your front door in particular. It’s a focal point and adds curb appeal, which can help with prospective buyers in the future.

Also many buyers may not realize how many systems and appliances there are in a home.

But each one needs to be examined during the blue tape walkthrough.

You also may to inspect home systems like:

• Air conditioning
• Heating
• Plumbing
• Electricity

Fortunately, we found only some scratches and a few electrical outlets that didn’t work so looking forward to final walkthrough
