Its time to sell your home. Here’s the typical scenario. You put your home up for sale and someone finally makes you an offer. There is a good chance the buyer will get a home inspection. You have be putting off repairs and maintenance on your home and you know the home inspector will find a ton of things wrong and you’ll be paying out a bundle of money for those repairs.
I’m a home inspector so I’ll use myself as an example. In 16 years as an inspector with very few exceptions I always have a list of items that need attention; sometimes the list is very large.
The object of this post is not to cheat anyone but to minimize the amount of money or concessions you will be making.
The main items most buyers are concerned with are the high priced items such as the heater, hot water heater, roof, air conditioner, kitchen and bathrooms. I will concentrate on these items first and then we will talk about the little nickel and dime items that many buyers focus on.
On my next post we will start with the roof.
