Pre-Inspection
Consider getting a pre-inspection to identify issues before listing your home. Addressing problems in advance demonstrates transparency and can make the selling process smoother.
Buyer’s Inspection
Be prepared for the buyer to conduct their own inspection. Respond promptly to any findings to maintain trust and keep the sale process on track.
Negotiate Repairs
Based on the inspection report, negotiate necessary repairs or offer credits to the buyer. Prioritize significant issues, especially those related to health and safety.
Repair or Give a Credit
Sometimes it’s more practical to offer a credit rather than executing a repair. Your agent can help you determine the best approach and put together a response for your attorney.
Keep Receipts
Keep all receipts and documentation of repairs. This can be useful during negotiations and reassure buyers of the quality of work done, showcasing your commitment to property maintenance.
