Part 6: Final Walkthroughs and Property Handoffs

At Oak Point Property Management LLC, the final step in our property inspection process is the move-out walkthrough and property handoff. This ensures that every rental unit is returned in excellent condition, ready for the next tenant, and any issues are clearly documented.

The Importance of the Final Walkthrough

The move-out walkthrough is a critical part of maintaining property value and avoiding disputes with tenants. Our team carefully reviews the property to:

• Confirm that all appliances, including washers and dryers, are in good working order.
• Check for leaks, water damage, or other issues that may have arisen during the tenant’s stay.
• Inspect walls, floors, cabinets, and countertops for wear or damage.
• Ensure that all keys, garage openers, and access devices are returned.

By documenting everything during the final walkthrough, we provide transparent records for property owners and tenants alike.

How We Conduct Handoffs

After the inspection, our team prepares a detailed report with photos and notes through our mobile inspection app. This report is shared with the property owner and the outgoing tenant to ensure clarity and accountability. Key elements of our handoff process include:

• Highlighting areas that require repair or cleaning.
• Communicating clearly about any deductions from security deposits, if applicable.
• Providing recommendations for preparing the property for the next tenant.

Why This Step Matters

A thorough move-out walkthrough helps:

• Prevent misunderstandings between tenants and property owners.
• Identify maintenance needs before they become larger issues.
• Maintain consistent property standards across all rentals.
