TEN TIPS TO HELP SPEED UP YOUR HOME INSPECTION!

Sellers can speed their home inspection by following these 10 simple suggestions. The inspection will go smoother, with fewer concerns to delay closing.

Confirm that water, electric and gas services are on.
Ensure pets won't hinder the inspector. Ideally they should be removed from the premises or secured outdoors. Tell your agent about any pets at home.
Replace burned out bulbs to avoid a "Light is inoperable" report that may suggest an electrical problem.
Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and replace batteries. This should be done in any event for your safety!
Clean or replace dirty HVAC air filters.
Remove stored items, debris and wood from foundation walls. I need to see the foundation walls and their condition.
Remove items blocking access to HVAC and Electrical service panels, water heaters, attic and crawl space openings.
Unlock areas that I must access-attic doors, closets, fence gates and any room with a lock.
Trim tree limbs to 10' from the roof and shrubs from the house to allow access.
Attend to broken or missing items like doorknobs, locks and latches.

Checking these areas before your home inspection is an investment in selling your property. Your real estate agent and I will thank You!!
