The Value of Home Inspections When Buying a Home – Part 2 May 12, 2009

HOW  TO PREPARE FOR A HOME INSPECTION

Since a buyer will be doing the inspection anyway a prudent seller can save himself time, money and aggravation by putting his house in proper working order.  The little items that he didn’t have time to fix will probably become an issue when a buyer’s engineer does his report.  Besides painting, cleaning and general sprucing up of the house the small touch ups like dry water stains from old leaks, surface cracks, small sheetrock holes and other minor things should be resolved BEFORE you put the house on the market.  It will make the buyer more comfortable before he makes his offer and it will make the engineer’s report look better.  Remember until the contract is signed the buyer can ask for anything he wants or simply walk away, by removing as many potential obstacles before the inspection a prudent seller can make his sale much smoother.
