Imagine this…… The buyer really loves your house, the landscaped lot and the great neighborhood, the fabulous layout. The price is right for them and you have successfully negotiated and accepted their offer. They have satisfied their financing requirements and you’re almost done…almost.

There’s one more river to cross: the home inspection. And don’t expect the waters to be smooth.

Nearly all homebuyers hire a professional home inspector to take a close look at their new house before closing. You can speed things along by analyzing the condition of your home and making necessary repairs now, before the house is under contract.

Home inspections cover numerous systems within the house, but there are a handful of hot-spots that seem to worry buyers the most.

The majority of home sellers do not know or understand how home inspectors evaluate their home. This may cause them to fail the basics of inspection requirements, leading to costly home repairs, a delay in the sale of their home or worse – turning prospective buyers away!

Learn how to prepare your home to pass and exceed the requirements of a home inspection, and keep the buyer in the deal.
