As a reminder, it's a mandatory requirement that carbon monoxide detectors are installed on all homes before a transaction can close escrow, as we are still seeing appraisals coming across without them installed! So make sure this is installed by the seller before the appraiser makes his first trip out there to do the initial appraisal report, otherwise lenders are requiring appraisers to go back out before funding to ensure this was installed! This re-inspection fee can sometimes cost the seller another $150-$200, so this will save everyone time and money and ensure a smoother closing!
