1. Confirm that the water, electrical and gas services are turned on and that gas pilot lights are lit.
2. Make sure pets won't hinder the home inspection. Ideally, they should be removed from the home or at least secured.
3. Replace any light bulbs that are burned out.
4. Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and replace any dead batteries.
5. Clean or replace any dirty HVAC air filters.
6. Move store items, debris, and wood away from the foundation.
7. Remove any items that block access to HVAC equipment, electrical service panels, water heaters, attic space and crawlspace.
8. Unlock any locked areas that need to be accessed. Areas like the attic door or hatch, electrical service panels, basement doors and any exterior gates.
9. Trim tree limbs away from the roof and shrubs from the exterior covering to allow for full visual access.
10. Repair or replace any broken or missing items such as doorknobs, locks and latches, windowpanes and screens, gutters and downspouts, and chimney caps.
