Items Not Done After Closing

  If my clients closed on a new townhome and 30 days after the closing certain walk-thru items are still not done. What to do if the walk-thru list request for 3 weeks after closing and no-one from the real estate company or the builders office will return my calls?
 
  It woudl have been useful if money had been held back in escrow at the closing, to be released only after the listed items were completed.  At this point, a letter from your clients' lawyer might be in order, addressed to the president of the company.
