How to Pass a Home Inspection on your Bonita Spring Property

An inspection is a vital of the purchase and sale process and sellers can jumpstart the transaction by having a pre-inspection done prior to listing. This pre-inspection is a great way to repair anything that buyers may find later on and catch any hazardous issues before the buyers inspection.

Here are some ways that you can pass a home inspection.

Remove debris and clutter. Having access to electrical panels, thinks, wiring and plumbing can make the inspection a difficult and lengthy process. By simply removing the clutter and getting boxes and other items out of the way to make the inspection happened much more smoothly and efficiently.

Empty the appliances. Make sure there’s nothing in your washing machine, dishwasher, stove or oven and that access is clear around all sides of the major appliances in the home. You certainly don’t want any socks behind the dryer that have been misplaced catching things on fire.

Unlock the door and remove kids and pets. It’s best to unlock all the doors, turn on all the lights, and allow for easy access to basements, crawlspaces and attics.

Make sure you’re honest about the homes flaws and defects. The seller’s disclosure form will allow you ample space to mention anything and everything you know about the house including lead-based paint, any major issues or hazards or repairs and renovations. It’s best to be honest now rather than have buyers find out you were deceptive later on. Also, provide documentation and receipt on any major repairs that you may have conducted if you can.

The pre-listing inspection can alleviate a lot of these issues and you can mention to the inspector and that you’ll probably have another inspection from the buyers said to offer you any insights and tips on what other inspectors may find. Tie up any loose ends now and you’ll have a much easier inspection later on.
