I'm assuming you are purchasing a new home and if that's correct, don't worry about a walk-thru prior to closing because you have a one year warranty ( from date of closing ). Just after closing you will meet with the builder in your home and he will do a walk-around with you and go over some of the basics.

We closed in January and although I found a few items on my punch list to be corrected, I'm going to wait until December to have them corrected.

One of the best lessons I learned from a post on TOTV is to hire a home inspector prior to the expiration to go through your house to identify items that should be fixed while still under warranty. In my case, I'm going to use an inspector my neighbor used and schedule him for December. My neighbor thought he had identified all the items that needed to be fixed, but the inspector found a number more. IMHO, this is money well spent.
