Are you thinking about selling your home? It’s not too early to think about the home inspection. There are key things that pop up on home inspections and if you take care of those now when you’re getting ready to list you’re ahead of the game!
- Make sure all your light bulbs are working, including your attic and crawl space.
- Check your handrails and deck boards. If they are wobbly/loose or the boards look like crocodile skin it is a good idea to have a contractor come take a look.
- Power wash your home and have them make note of any areas that may need to be addressed due to rot etc.
- Check those toilets and faucets. Do they wobble or have any signs of leaking? Easy enough fixes but one small item we can keep off your home inspection report.
- Do all your windows open Your home inspector will open EVERY window or try and if they don’t open it will be noted.
- When we start to prep to move we usually use our garage as the staging area for boxes. That also is usually where your electric panel and water heater also are. Make sure the area around both of these are free and clear and easily accessible.
These are just a few tips that I give my clients as they get ready to sell their homes. If you’re thinking about buying or selling give me, your hometown Realtor a call today.
