Did you know the NVAR contract doesn't limit you to just one walk-through? You can actually do more than one, the key is knowing when and why.

✅ It's a condition check: is the house still in the same shape it was when you went under contract?
✅ It's a verification that any agreed-upon repairs from the inspection were actually completed.
❌ It's NOT a second home inspection.
❌ It's NOT the time to renegotiate cosmetic stuff you missed the first time around.

💡 My recommendation: two walk-throughs
1️⃣ 5 to 7 days before closing, so there's still time to fix anything that comes up.
2️⃣ The night before or morning of closing, to confirm those repairs were actually done.

Beyond that, you're not really inspecting the house anymore, you're just visiting it.

When you buy a home, the deed is the document that actually transfers ownership from the seller to you. But here's what most buyers don't realize — not every deed offers the same level of protection.

There are 3 types you'll typically come across:

✅ General Warranty Deed — full protection, guaranteed clear title back through history.

⚠️ Special Warranty Deed — only covers the seller's own ownership period.

🟨 Quitclaim Deed — zero guarantees, just a transfer of whatever interest exists.

Knowing which deed you're getting can make a real difference in how protected you are as a homeowner

If you own a condo, your parking space might not actually be yours. Here's how to find out:

Some parking spaces are deeded, meaning they're legally described right alongside your unit. That means it's yours, you can sell it, and it typically transfers automatically when you sell your condo. No one can take it away without your consent.

Other spaces are simply assigned by the HOA or condo association, usually as a "limited common element." That space isn't in your deed, the association controls it, and depending on your governing documents, they may be able to reassign it, especially if you fall behind on dues or if the community reallocates space.

This matters most at closing. Buyers often assume the parking space comes with the unit, but if it's not deeded, that's not guaranteed. And reassigning or fixing a parking space can require an amendment to the condo instruments, which isn't a quick fix.

Before you buy or sell a condo, ask your title company to confirm exactly how the parking space is held. It could save you a major headache down the road.
