🙌 Handpicked Tips For Sellers

🏡 Home Inspection Prep

That knock on your door could be the inspector who determines if your sale closes or falls apart. Four hours that can change everything. Let's get you ready.

The Basics Every Seller Should Know:

• Inspections typically take 2-4 hours

• Plan to leave your home during this time

• Buyers need private time with their inspector

• The entire property will be examined inside and out

• 20-25% of buyers walk away from contracts after inspections

Take control of your home inspection process and position yourself for a successful sale.
