10 Ways to Prepare for a Home Inspection
1. Clean debris from gutters and roof
2. Caulk around windows and doors
3. Seal asphalt driveway
4. Clean HVAC filters
5. Seal basement walls
6. Clean the chimney
7. Replace burned out light bulbs
8. Have all documentation on hand for recent repairs and inspections
9. Remove firewood from contact with the house
10. Clear access to attic, crawl space, and garage
TIP: Encourage sellers to resist the impulse to make quick, cheap repairs before an inspection. You may raise a question that produces undue concern with the buyers.
