Preparing for the Home Inspection
Thursday, April 3rd, 2008
If you’re selling your house, chances are your prospective buyer will want to bring his or her own home inspector to see if your house is worth the asking price. Here’s how you can prepare for the visit.
Cleaning your home sounds so simple but you’d be surprised at how many home owners overlook this. Home inspectors are people too and as people, they’ll have their own ideas about how a well-maintained home should look like. A clean house indicates that you take good care of the rest of the property.
Get the house ready way ahead of the home inspector’s arrival because some home inspectors like to start early.
Leave the utilities connected because the home inspector will check the faucets, airconditioning, the stove, etc. Without the utilities, the inspector cannot make a full assessment and you’ll have to reschedule.
