Below are a home inspector tips
for home sellers to provide you with a better home selling experience.
As a home seller, you are
looking to move on to the next phase of your life whether it be a house across
town or a cross-country move. Before you get ahead of yourself, follow these tips for home sellers to make sure that you
receive the best home inspection report possible for the house you are selling. . Let’s get started
1. Scrape Up As Much As You
Can:
First check the exterior of your home, as well as the roof,
garage, kitchens, utility rooms, and other such areas to make sure that the
inspector will have access to all of the systems that they must check.
Take special care to clear away stuff from major home systems like
furnaces, HVAC units, utility closets, and other such areas that the inspector
must examine closely.
While you do this, look
for any signs that something may be wrong with your property, and make minor
repairs as well.
2. Punctuality:
If the home inspector says they’ll be there at 9:00 am, so make
sure you’re dressed, prepared, showered, and ready to greet them in the
morning. They’re professionals, and they will be there on time, you don’t want
to delay them because you weren’t prepared.
3. Provide Access To All
Garages, Outbuildings, Etc:
Home inspectors will typically examine all buildings on your
property, including garages and other such outbuildings, such as “granny flats”
or other detached units, so you’ll need to provide them with keys, garage door
openers, or door codes for these units.
In addition, if you have a sprinkler system or other systems that
have electrical panel boxes or other utility boxes, leave keys and instructions
for unlocking them, to ensure that the inspector has access, and can inspect
them.
4. Equip The Inspector With
Relevant Documents:
It’s a good idea to make paperwork regarding remodeling projects
available to inspectors, in addition to documentation about major repairs and
upgrades such as a new furnace, HVAC system, roof, plumbing, and so forth.
This documentation will aid the inspector when they create their report, and help give the buyer more peace of mind, as they will have a more
clear idea of when each major component of the home was last inspected,
repaired, or replaced.
5. Get Out Of The House (For At
Least Three Hours)
The buyer will usually accompany the home inspector during the
examination, and will ask them questions during the process. That means they
may be uncomfortable if you’re hanging around your house, so plan to have
something to do while the inspection is completed. Head to the gym and get some
errands done, go see a movie, schedule a coffee date with a friend – whatever
sounds good! Then, head back once the inspection is complete.
6. Ensure Your Home Inspection Goes Evenly With These Tips:
If you follow these tips, the home inspection process is sure to
go off without a drawback. If you have other questions or you’d like to
