1. Have a pre-sale home inspection. Be proactive by arranging for a pre-sale home inspection. An inspector will be able to give you a good indication of the trouble areas that will stand out to potential buyers, and you’ll be able to make repairs before your house is put on the market. This avoids problems later on down the road. Often times a seller is not aware of a problem. When a buyer does write a contract on the property and has a home inspection, trouble areas can arise and the negotiating process starts all over again to address the issues uncovered by the buyer's home inspection. By doing a pre-sale home inspection these circumstances are completely eliminated. Trouble areas are addressed prior to putting the house on the market and the buyer can purchase the property with peace of mind knowing that any troublesome issues have already been addressed and/or disclosed.
