Today, we share Part II of our 20-point discussion on home inspections!
Buyers will get a home inspection done just about every time they purchase. However, it's becoming more and more common for sellers to have their home inspected before they put it on the market. This allows sellers to fix problems in advance and find issues they had no knowledge of before.
There are a number of things you should do to prepare for your home inspection:
- Make sure the water heater is accessible: Have it turned on and operational also.
- Replace the batteries in the smoke detector: If it's randomly beeping, it's time for new batteries!
- Clean the ashes in the fireplace: Having a chimney sweep come over can be very helpful.
- Light the pilot light: If you have gas logs, you'll want to make sure it's ready to go.
- Have remotes easily accessible: If you have remotes for your fans or fireplaces, make sure the inspector can find them.
If you have any questions about the inspection process, or if you need real estate assistance of any kind, give us a call or shoot us a quick email. We would love to hear from you!
