If you’re selling your home, preparing for the inspection can make the process smoother and leave a positive impression on buyers. Here are some key steps:
- Clean and declutter the home so the inspector can easily move through each room
- Ensure access to important areas such as the attic, basement, electrical panel, HVAC system, plumbing, and water heater
- Replace simple maintenance items like light bulbs, air filters, or smoke detector batteries
- Check exterior areas such as gutters, yard, and garage to make sure they’re safe and accessible
By keeping your home well-maintained and inspection-ready, you help reduce potential concerns for buyers and increase their confidence in the property.
