The one comment I hear from my sellers most often when we
discuss the home inspection is, “I don’t think the inspector is going to find
anything.” They do, they always, always
do. In 9 years I have had one home that
had nothing come up on the report. It
was a newer townhome owned by a single man who kept his home immaculate and pet
free. So please, don’t purposely not fix
something because you want to leave “something” for the inspector to find! Trust me, he will find plenty that you would
have never even thought about. Most
inspections reports reveal a page and a half to two pages of repairs that the
inspector found. Let’s go ahead and get
the most common repairs out of the way so the buyers can be impressed of how
well you take care of your home!

Make sure you have working smoke detectors in
each bedroom and outside the sleeping areas of each floor as well as at least
one on each floor.
