How to Pass A Home Inspection

​There is a lot of information out there about preparing your home for sale. Finding a buyer and agreeing on a sale price and terms is only the first step in the closing process.  The next step is passing the home inspection. This can be a very stressful step. Don’t worry there are things you can do to prepare for the inspection. 
 
Here are a few tips on how to pass a home inspection:
 
  • Have your HVAC system inspected and cleaned by a qualified HVAC contractor.   As a bare minimum make sure your furnace has a clean filter installed.
  • Make sure the outside A/C or Heat Pump unit coils are clean and free of debris.  
  • Trim any vegetation or trees that may be touching the siding or roof of the house.  This will show the inspector that the property has been well maintained.  
  • Clean your gutters, downspouts are directed away from the foundation and splash blocks are in place at appropriate locations. 
  • Ensure key areas are accessible for the inspector.  For instance, move any items that may be blocking access to the electrical panel.  
  • If you have had any major repairs performed in the past, leave an explanation for the inspector on the kitchen counter along with any receipts or warranties.  This will answer a lot of questions about the condition of the property.
  • Make sure all appliances are turned on and operational.  
  • Replace any burned-out light bulbs in any electrical fixtures.  If it is not obvious what a switch controls, leave a note for the inspector.
