If a new home, no problem. Either your sales rep or the builder will do a walk-through and set up minor repairs (at least for those on the exterior). Interior will probably have to wait until you're down. The one thing you need to find a way to schedule and have done within 30 days of closing is to have the sprinkler system checked by the installer (it will be in your closing papers). Maybe your sales rep would be willing to do this for you.
For any other issues, you have one year from date of closing to get them to home warranty to take care of. It is worth the money to have a home inspector check your property about 6 weeks before the year ends. The inspector will send a copy of the report to home warranty and you'll be called by the subcontractors to come make repairs within 72 hours.
If it is a pre-owned home, I'm assuming you had a home inspection done prior to closing. If so, ask your sales rep to do a check to make sure all items have been repaired.
And congrats!
