With the current housing crisis and the saturation of homes on the market, it is imperative for your home to stand out among the rest. Curb appeal is the first step to securing a buyer. It has to have that WOW factor. When a potential buyer signs the contract, they normally hire a home inspector to look beyond the WOW factor to make sure they are purchasing a quality home.
As a seller, there are many ways to make sure the home will continue to WOW the prospective buyer, even after the inspection is complete. Greater Chicagoland Home Inspection is proud to offer tips on how to prepare your home for inspection.
TIP #37
In most cases, the property needs to have a functioning chimney cap in place. A chimney cap protects the structure from water and animal intrusion. If it is missing or if it is heavily rusted, consider having it replaced, prior to the inspection. A missing chimney cap is considered a red flag for the inspector, plus the structural integrity of the structure may be in question.
