Home Inspector Tips for Sellers and Buyers

Posted on by


Home Inspector Tips for Sellers
1. Move your pets.
Pets underfoot can make the inspector’s job more difficult. With pets out of the way, the inspector doesn’t have to worry about losing a cat or dog as they move in and out.

2. Clean
Declutter and clean. This may be the first time a buyer is in the house for an extended period of time and it’s a good time to make a good 2nd impression.

Home Inspector Tips for Buyers
1. There will be problems
An inspector’s job is to judge a house fairly but not every issue is critical.

2. Almost anything can be fixed
Everything is upgradable, fixable or replaceable. You need to have a list of what those things are.

3. One thing to worry about is water
Note any issues such as puddles and leaks, address any water-related issues before closing.

4. Home inspectors aren’t fortune tellers
Inspectors can’t tell you how long something will last. They can only tell you if something is in good shape.

5. Find the balance
Weighing the balance between your love for a home and the costs of repairs may make things difficult. Take your time and consider the investment you are about to make.
