The Importance of the Final Walkthrough: What Buyers & Sellers Need to Know Insights from Talk Real Estate Roundtable with Boston Connect Real Estate At Boston Connect Real Estate, we believe that education is one of the most valuable tools we can provide buyers and sellers. In a recent episode of Talk Real Estate Roundtable, hosts Melissa Wallace and Tracy Grady took a deep dive into one of the final and most important steps of a real estate transaction: the final walkthrough. While often overlooked, this critical step can make the difference between a smooth closing and a stressful one. Here's what every buyer and seller should know before closing day arrives. What Is a Final Walkthrough? A final walkthrough typically occurs within 24 hours of closing. It is not another home inspection. Instead, it is the buyer's opportunity to confirm that: The home is in the same condition as when the offer was accepted. No new damage has occurred during the seller's move-out. All systems and mechanicals that worked previously still operate as expected. All agreed-upon repairs have been completed. The seller has fully vacated and met the “broom clean” requirement. All items that were supposed to stay including appliances, fixtures, and window treatments—are still in place. For sellers, the walkthrough is the last checkpoint before passing ownership to the new buyers. For buyers, it is a chance to ensure they're walking into the home they expect. The Purpose: Peace of Mind for Buyers During the walkthrough, buyers are looking for confirmation not perfection. This includes: ✔ Verifying Completed Repairs If the home inspection revealed issues that were resolved by the seller, buyers should: Bring the repair list from the P&S and inspection addendum Review receipts, warranties, or certificates Confirm the work was completed professionally For example, the agents discussed a home with mold remediation in the attic, which required certificates to be transferred to the buyer. These documents are essential, and buyers should receive them before closing day. ✔ Ensuring the Home is Empty & Clean In Massachusetts, sellers are required to leave the home in broom-clean condition meaning: Floors swept Surfaces wiped Cabinets empty No debris left behind Most sellers go above and beyond, arranging for a professional cleaning crew. But buyers should still inspect kitchens, drawers, appliances, and the garage or basement for stray items. ✔ Checking for Move-Out Damage Even the most careful sellers can accidentally cause damage while moving. Buyers should look for: Floor scratches from dragging furniture Damaged walls where TVs, shelves, or decor were removed Water leaks from disconnected appliances Broken windows or hardware previously hidden by furniture The show even recalled a real example where a safe dropped during move-out, damaging exterior brick steps, proof that anything can happen! What Buyers Should Not Do During the Walkthrough A final walkthrough is not the time to retest every appliance or mechanical system unless no inspection was completed. Generally: You do not run the dishwasher through a full cycle You do not retest the heating system, stove, or electrical systems You do not make new demands unrelated to the home's condition These were already addressed during the home inspection. What Sellers Should Leave Behind (and What They Shouldn't) ✔ Items Sellers May Leave (With Permission) Matching paint for touch-ups Extra floorboards, tiles, or siding Window screens or storm windows Pool equipment and maintenance tools Manuals, remotes, and spare keys Communication is key, nothing should be left without confirming the buyer wants it. ✘ Items Sellers Should Never Leave Without Approval Old or hazardous paint cans Chemicals, oil, or propane tanks Construction debris Broken furniture or outdated patio sets Food or cleaning supplies Kiddie pools, swing sets, or other large items not negotiated Items stored in the attic or basement that were simply forgotten The agents discussed common oversights  like sellers accidentally leaving old gardening stakes, basement junk, or even full hockey bags buried in attic corners. Handling Unexpected Surprises The walkthrough is where last-minute surprises can derail a transaction. Some real-life examples from the episode included: A tree falling through a condo roof prior to closing A sump pump failure causing basement flooding Unremoved outdoor furniture despite multiple reminders Refrigerators dragged across floors, causing large scratches Issues like these must be resolved before the buyer signs on closing day. Why This Step Matters For most people, buying a home is the largest financial decision they'll ever make. The final walkthrough: Protects buyers from unexpected expenses Ensures the property condition complies with the P&S Builds trust between both parties Sets the tone for a smooth closing And for sellers? A clean, worry-free walkthrough is the last opportunity to leave a great impression.

What makes a city full of trees feel cooler, safer and more alive?  How do you actually keep that canopy thriving? And what illnesses and diseases should you be looking out for?  Lindsay and Bruce welcome City Forester Jeff Myers, a Certified Master Arborist, to answer those questions and many more!  With nearly three decades serving our City, Jeff pulls back the curtain on how suburban forestry really works, from the science behind pruning to the system that tracks our 33,000 street trees.We walk through the boundaries between city and resident responsibilities and why Dublin pairs sidewalk repairs with supervised root pruning. Jeff explains why late fall is your prime time for pruning, what 'live crown ratio' means for a tree's stability, and how different species demand different pruning cycles. You'll hear why topping weakens trees, how to use the three‑cut method, and what a good branch collar cut looks like.We also get candid about current threats and trends. Anthracnose flared up after a cool, wet spring while emerald ash borer remains at low but watchful levels. Drought stress lingers into the next season, so Jeff lays out when watering helps and when the root zone is simply too big to make a difference. Along the way, he shares how GIS maps show live pruning zones plus why Dublin holds contractors to a higher bar with on‑site certified arborists on every job. If you care about your street, your shade and your safety, this conversation gives you clear, actionable guidance to protect the trees you love. Follow the show and share it with a neighbor who has 'that one problem maple'. We guarantee they'll thank you for it!

Two cases. Two very different crimes. One system that failed both sets of victims. In this Hidden Killers double feature, Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels sit down with defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis to unpack two stories that expose the cracks in American justice — one soaked in leniency, the other in cruelty. First: Jesse Mack Butler. Eleven felony charges. Two teenage girls. One nearly strangled to death. Video evidence. Doctors saying seconds more and she'd be gone. Yet somehow, Stillwater, Oklahoma's court system gave him a second chance — turning seventy-eight years of possible prison time into one year of supervision under the Youthful Offender statute. Eric and Tony dig into how the legal definition of “youth” became a shield for violence, how privilege masqueraded as compassion, and how prosecutors and judges rationalized a decision that left two survivors behind. Then: Susan Lorincz.  The Florida woman convicted of shooting Ajike “AJ” Owens through a locked door — killing the mother of four in front of her children. From prison, Lorincz has now written a four-page letter threatening to sue Owens's children and mother for defamation — accusing them of trespassing, lying, and “ruining her reputation.” Tony and Eric expose the psychological rot behind that letter — how denial becomes control, how narcissism replaces remorse, and how the legal system still lets killers weaponize paperwork against the families they destroyed. Two stories. Same disease. A justice system too soft on those who harm and too silent for those who suffer.

Send me a Text Message. - How I separate ideas from tasks, plan by energy, and keep marketing simple - Planning doesn't have to kill creativity. In this episode, I share how I plan with a neurodivergent, creative brain—lightly. Using examples from some of my clients, I separate ideas from tasks, choose one daily priority, and use soft time blocks guided by energy instead of the clock. I talk about how Bullet Journaling® supports me (without needing pretty pages), how I turned my phone into a tool, and why monthly/weekly/daily funnels keep my daily list truly doable. If you've tried rigid systems and rebelled, this is for you. Planning can protect your freedom, help you make more, and keep your marketing consistent—without heroic last-minute sprints.FULL SHOWNOTES WITH LINKS: https://www.ja-wol.com/blogs/podcast/107 You know me as a guide, mentor and teacher, but I've also set off on a new adventure, coaching.

 How does someone charged with eleven felonies — including rape and strangulation — walk away with a single year of supervision? In Stillwater, Oklahoma, 17-year-old Jesse Mack Butler attacked two teenage girls so brutally one nearly died. Police had video evidence. Doctors confirmed near-fatal injuries. Yet the court called it “rehabilitation.” In this episode, Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott unpack the psychology of protection — the denial, privilege, and misplaced empathy that let predators slip through the cracks. From family complicity to small-town bias, this is a case study in how justice fails survivors — and what it says about our collective moral blindness.

Is your safety program just a checkbox, or can it give you a competitive edge?In this week's Mobilization Mindset, Scott welcomes David Tibbetts, Chief Safety Officer at Highwire, for a frank conversation on how contractors move from “check-the-box” compliance to systems that prevent serious injuries and keep projects on track.You'll learn: - Why safety is both a moral obligation and good business  - What owners and GCs actually look at - incident rates, EMR, OSHA citations, fatalities, and the quality of your programs - When safety performance tips the bid, and what happens when low bidders carry risk - The big mindset shift - instead of stopping at recordables, focus on SIF potential and high-risk activities - Leadership that works - field engagement walks, clear roles, accountability, and worker empowerment - Real examples such as Skanska's “Care for Life” meetings, and a simple logistics change that boosted morale and safety on a 100-person site - How even small contractors can use tools like ChatGPT to design incentives, inspections, and goalsIf you want fewer surprises, safer jobs, and stronger bids, this episode shows how to turn safety data into action - and culture into results.Dive into the episode and upgrade your approach with SIF-focused practices.#ConstructionSafety #RiskManagement #JobsiteSafety #SIFPrevention #Highwire #MobilizationMindset

Episode Description On Monday, you wrote your internal mission. Tuesday, you discovered 80% of your daily actions are completely Irrelevant to your vision. Today, Scott gives you the one question that filters everything. No complicated system. No elaborate planning. No superhuman willpower. One question asked every single day that protects your vision from the thousands of opportunities trying to derail you. A client used this filter for just one week and avoided seven or eight things that would have derailed her for a month. The question forces you to be honest about whose agenda you're serving—yours or everyone else's. Fair warning: This might make you ruthless. That's the point. Featured Story She had a clear vision. She'd written out her internal and external missions just like Scott asked. But life kept getting in the way. Her phone wouldn't stop ringing. Opportunities showed up constantly. People needed things all the time. She was working incredibly hard but felt like she was moving backward. When Scott asked what she did when opportunities arrived, she admitted the truth: "I listen. I think about it. I consider if I have time. And then I usually say yes because I don't want to disappoint anyone. I figure it out later." She was making dozens of decisions every day without a filter. No wonder she was exhausted. Scott taught her one question. She didn't believe it could be that simple. But after one week, she'd avoided seven or eight derailments that would have cost her a month of progress. The question changed everything. Important Points Every single day, thousands of opportunities will cross your path trying to detour you from what you want. Most opportunities that show up in life are other people's dreams disguised as your opportunities. There is no neutral—you are either moving closer to what you want or moving away from it. Memorable Quotes "Will this opportunity move me closer to the lifestyle I desire, or further away?" "Most emails are usually somebody else's to-do list being sent to you." "Every yes to something that doesn't deserve your attention is a no to something that does." Scott's Three-Step Approach Before you say yes to anything, ask yourself if this opportunity moves you closer to your desired lifestyle or further away. Remember, there is no neutral—time, energy, and attention are finite resources. Be ruthless with your filter but not mean—protect your vision without explaining or justifying yourself to anyone.

The biggest hormone myth is finally being debunked, and it's kept millions of women suffering needlessly. I'm talking with Dr. Deb Matthew about the shocking truth: estrogen actually protects against breast cancer, with studies showing a 24% reduction in risk. For 20 years, women have been denied hormone support based on a completely misinterpreted study. We dive deep into how hormone imbalances fuel autoimmune conditions, why your doctor might still be afraid to help you, and what you need to know to advocate for yourself. If you've been told you're "too young" or "too old" for hormones, or that feeling exhausted and irritable is just "normal aging," this conversation could change everything. You deserve to feel resilient, not depleted.For the complete show notes, links and transcript visit inspiredliving.show/216

Osteoporosis affects 10 million Americans, and research shows resistance training effectively builds bone density by creating mechanical stress that signals bone-building cells to strengthen skeletal structure Weightlifting (80% to 85% of your 1 rep max) performed two to three times weekly produces the greatest bone density gains, while walking and swimming provide insufficient force for bone strengthening Essential exercises include squats, deadlifts, incline pushups, hip rotations, and chair squats, progressing gradually in intensity while maintaining proper form to minimize injury risk Blood flow restriction (BFR) training, also known as KAATSU in Japan, enhances bone formation markers even at low intensities, allowing effective muscle and bone strengthening without heavy weights or pain Consistency matters most. Research shows that training for one year or more significantly improves bone mineral density, cortical thickness, and overall bone geometry across all ages and genders

There's something deeply broken in Lonoke County, Arkansas. A 67-year-old man, Michael Fosler, was charged with 43 felony counts involving a thirteen-year-old girl. The bond? $5,000 cash.  Weeks later, he was found in a car with that same child—alive only because her father, Aaron Spencer, intervened. Fosler didn't survive. Now, instead of asking why a predator was free, the system has turned its full weight on the father who protected his daughter. This episode of Hidden Killers exposes how Judge Barbara Elmore approved the low bond, how Chief Deputy Prosecutor John Huggins chose to keep the case alive, and how a sweeping gag order—later struck down by the Arkansas Supreme Court as a “gross abuse of discretion”—tried to silence everyone asking questions. This isn't speculation; it's documented history. The same judge was previously reversed for refusing to recuse herself in another child-abuse case. The same prosecutor could still drop the charges but hasn't. When courts and prosecutors protect predators and punish protectors, that's not justice—it's self-preservation.

There has been some concern over a comet that his headed towards the Earth, so much that NASA has deployed the planetary defense tools after it!It is Free Comedy Friday so we welcomed in our friend Steve Rannazzisi in where we talked about little league, he gave Thor some advice for when his wife goes into labor, and more!For some reason, people want to visit the locations of horror movies. Well, we found a list that ranked horror movie locations based on how scary they actually are in real life

In this episode of The Pulling Curls Podcast, hosts Hilary Erickson and Dr. Janene Fuerch, a neonatologist at Stanford, dive into what every pregnant family should know about the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit). They discuss why it's important to understand NICU basics—even if you're planning a smooth delivery—and share practical tips on how to cope if your baby needs extra care, including ways to stay connected, manage stress, and support bonding. The episode also highlights exciting innovations aimed at making NICU stays safer and more comfortable for babies and families, plus insights on hospital levels and advocacy for neonatal advancements.   Big thanks to our sponsor Laborie -- LifeBubble® Umbilical Catheter Securement System LifeBubble is made of a Soft Medical Grade Silicone to minimize skin irritation, Reduces the Risk of Catheter Migration and Early Discontinuation, and Protects the Insertion Site of our most vulnerable patients.

She is a Clinical Associate Professor of Pediatrics, Division of Neonatal and Developmental Medicine, Associate Director of the Biodesign Innovation Fellowship Program at Stanford University, and Co-Director of Impact1 where she mentors and advises entrepreneurs in the pediatric and maternal space through all aspects of medical device development, from identifying clinical needs to commercialization. Her specific areas of investigational interest include the development and commercialization process of neonatal, pediatric and maternal health medical devices. She is a national leader in neonatal resuscitation, ECMO, device development and has been an AHRQ, FDA and NSF funded investigator. But her work extends outside of the academic realm to industry having co-founded EMME (acquired by Simple Health 2022) an award-winning reproductive health company, medical director for Novonate (acquired by Laborie 2023) a neonatal umbilical catheter securement company and notable consultant for Vitara (EXTEND - artificial environment to decrease complications of prematurity), Laborie, Ceribell, Novocuff and Avanos™. Janene is passionate about improving the health of children and newborns through medical device innovation and research.

The NICU can range from having just a couple of extra staff in the delivery room to having 15 people if a baby needs help, making the birth experience much more intense and involved. Planning ahead with your partner about who will go with the baby in case of separation can help make a stressful situation a little easier. About 10% of babies need some help breathing at birth, but most recover quickly; only a small percentage require NICU care beyond the basic interventions. NICUs are graded by levels (I-IV), and knowing what level your hospital offers can help families prepare—higher-level NICUs can treat more complex issues but aren't always necessary for uncomplicated births. If your hospital isn't a level III or IV, babies needing higher-level care may need to be transferred, which could mean temporary separation from parents; hospitals always work to reunite families as quickly as possible. NICU nurses are passionate, skilled, and deeply care about the babies and their families, creating a loving and safe environment even during stressful times. Parents can support their recovery and milk production by getting rest and using NICU technologies (like webcams) to stay connected—it's okay to take breaks and trust the NICU staff. Emerging technologies like Labry's Life Bubble are making NICU stays safer and more comfortable, allowing parents to hold their babies even when special catheters are in place. Skin-to-skin contact in the NICU is highly beneficial for both babies and parents, helping with bonding, milk production, and even neurodevelopment; parents are encouraged to ask staff about timing and any concerns about wires or tubes.
