People wonder why Homesale Realty agents work so hard to make every home transaction easier. It's simple: We take our responsibility to our customers seriously, whether they happen to be buying or selling. That's a commitment that lasts to closing day and beyond.

Buying a home can have its twists and turns, but it's important to take the right steps. One of the last things a home buyer needs to do is a final walk-through of the property. This is the biggest opportunity they have to notice and draw attention to any issues that have not been addressed as agreed after the home inspection.

With that in mind, it's a great idea to have a final walk-through checklist at the ready. Checklists are extremely useful when you're dealing with complex tasks, especially those that happen to be unfamiliar. Even if you brainstorm with your client ahead of time, you might forget a detail here or there. With a checklist, you can be confident. So can your client—and that peace of mind makes a difference.

What should your final walk-through checklist include? Remember these steps:

1. Remind Your Client Why You're There
   A final walk-through helps buyers verify repairs that the seller agreed to make, usually as the result of a home inspection conducted within the last few weeks. If there is a major change in the home's condition, buyers can choose to contact the seller before closing to discuss that issue.

Social media is a terrific way to find new customers and stay in touch with those you've served in the past. Since most of your new customers are bound to find you online, cultivating an active digital presence makes a lot of sense. By posting regularly, you can foster trust and build a true rapport.

That said, it takes a certain level of social savvy to use these tools to their utmost. Social media is always changing, and that means learning and re-learning the best ways to use it. If you stay ahead of the curve, you'll attract business more easily.

Social Stories represent one great innovation many real estate agents aren't using yet.

• What Are Social Stories?
  Humans are storytellers by nature. One of the best roles of social media is to enable that impulse, letting people weave tales about their lives as events happen. Social Stories is the name given to a set of Facebook and Instagram features that help facilitate this. They take the form of photos or short video clips, a maximum of 15 seconds long. Story content is available for only 24 hours.
