Have your home inspected before you list.
Most homeowners do well to make their home look nice by painting, cutting the grass and fixing anything that breaks. Make sure your home is more than just a pretty face.
Before you list, consider spending a couple of hundred dollars to have your home inspected by a professional. He can spot conditions that cost little to repair now but could put off prospective buyers.
Inspectors often can point out do-it-yourself or handyman repairs. Electrical and plumbing work are two of the most common building code violations. Heating and air conditioning systems can be examined and recommendations made. Homes of all ages benefit from exterior maintenance to keep moisture from creating issues and concerns.
People who don’t have the time or inclination to crawl about the attic, basement or crawlspace should know that these are some of the areas a home inspector examines. Inspectors frequently uncover problems completely unknown to the homeowner. Fixing the big problems before you list can make your home much more attractive to a buyer and make you feel more confident.
