The estate sale is over and we can be very happy with the money you have made. Not only did it pay for all of our services but you have money to prepare the home for sale.
When we first spoke we discussed the items in the home that need attention. Things that would bring negative comments from potential buyers.
It's our job now to take away as much as that negativity as we can.
First we will bring in a home inspector. He will point out items that the potential buyers inspector may point out and try to beat you up in price.
It's always cheaper to take care of things first before a buyer comes in.
The inspector said that he found a small leak in the furnace and that it needs to be cleaned.
He pointed out that standard have changed and we need GFIs (Ground Fault Interrupters) near all water sources inside and out.
The means the kitchen, bathrooms, garage and outdoor plugs.
We know that we will be getting a electrician for a few things and know that he can take care of these GFIs.
The inspector also said that there are new requirement for crawl spaces. They must have a vapor barrier on the ground and the walls. This doesn't have to be done by a basement water proofing company and our contractors on site can take care of that.
We will update a few lights and fixtures and paint before we stage.
All of this should be done in a couple of weeks.
The good news is that there is still money left over.
