First Home Walkthrough: What to Check Before You Settle In Getting the keys to your first home is exciting, but the work does not stop there. One of the most important steps after closing is doing a proper ocular visit and walkthrough before fully moving in. This is the time to slow down and really check the home. Test doors and windows. Make sure locks are working properly. Confirm utilities are functioning as expected. Look for anything that may need attention now rather than later. Changing the door locks should be one of the first priorities. Even in a well-maintained home, you never know how many copies of old keys exist. This simple step adds safety, peace of mind, and a true sense of ownership from day one. A thorough walkthrough also helps new homeowners understand their space better, plan small upgrades, and protect their investment early on. These details matter, especially for first-time buyers who want to start strong and avoid surprises.
