Home Inspection Tips!

Home Inspection Tips:

Please Confirm that water, electric and gas service are on, with gas pilot lights burning.

1. Ensure pets won't hinder the inspection. Ideally, they should be removed from premises or secured outside. Tell the inspector about any pets at the home.
2. Replace burned out bulbs so the inspector can see them operable and it doesn't suggest an electrical problem.
3. Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and replace dead batteries.
4. Clean or replace dirty HVAC air filters. They should fit securely.
5. Remove stored items, debris and wood from foundation. These can be "conducive conditions" for termites.
6. Remove items blocking access to HVAC equipment, electric service panels, water heaters, attics and crawl spaces, so the inspector can access them.
7. Unlock areas the inspector must access — attic doors or hatches, electric service panels, closets, fence gates and other crawl spaces.
8. Trim tree limbs to 10’ from the roof and shrubs from the house to allow access and prevent damage to home and roof.
9. Attend to broken or missing items like doorknobs, locks and latches; window panes, screens and locks; gutters and downspouts; chimney caps, and anti-siphon devices on outside faucets.

Tackling these chores before your home inspection is an investment in selling your property.

Move-In Certified Pre-Sale Inspections:

Advantages of selling a home that has been Move-In Certified™ include:

• A Move-In Certified™ seller inspection is the ultimate gesture in forthrightness on the part of the seller.
• The seller can choose a certified InterNACHI inspector to inspect the home.
• The seller can schedule the inspection at his or her own convenience.
• The seller can assist the inspector during the inspection -- something not normally done during a buyer's inspection.
• The inspection may alert the seller to any immediate concerns, such as radon gas or an active termite infestation.
• Move-In Certified™yard signs attract potential buyers. 
• A seller inspection reveals problems ahead of time, which:
  • gives the seller time to shop for competitively-priced contractors to make repairs;
  • permits the seller to attach repair estimates or paid invoices to the inspection report;
  • makes the home show better after problems are addressed;
  • removes over-inflated buyer-procured repair estimates from the negotiation table.
• A seller inspection lightens negotiations and 11th-hour re-negotiations.

There are other distinct advantages of having a Move-In Certified™ inspection report:

• The seller is given an opportunity to repair or replace items noted in the inspection report before it is distributed to real estate agents and prospective buyers.
• The report provides an unbiased, third-party, professional opinion to potential buyers.
• The report may encourage the buyer to waive the inspection contingency, so the deal is less likely to fall apart the way they often do when a buyer's inspection reveals unexpected problems at the last minute.
• The report can be hosted on www.FetchReport.com, which can be used as an effective marketing tool.
• The report can help the seller realistically price the home if problems exist.
• The report can help the seller substantiate a higher asking price if problems don't exist or have been corrected.
• The report may relieve a prospective buyer's unfounded suspicions, before he walks away.
• The report provides full-disclosure protection from future legal claims.
