What should my Sandy Springs buyer's agent check about smoke and carbon monoxide detectors before I close?

A buyer's agent should confirm working smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are installed and tested before a Sandy Springs closing, since a home without them can hold up a lender's final walkthrough or create a safety issue on day one of ownership. Checking detector placement in bedrooms and near fuel-burning appliances catches gaps that are easy to miss on a quick walkthrough. Joel Boss adds this check to a Sandy Springs buyer's final walkthrough as a matter of routine.
