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 #47
If the inspector is also performing a radon test additional expectations are necessary. Radon testing requires the home be closed for the duration of the test (At least 48 hours during the test plus at least 12 hours prior to the testing). Other systems that use outside air cannot be run as well (i.e., fireplaces, whole house fans and other systems). If an inspector finds these requirements not met, seller may be required to start the process again.
